Is a typical example of how interdishiplinarity is at the heart of what we do at the University of Brighton (UoB);
Cross-fertilisation and collaborations gives way to innovative ways of looking at R&E domains;
How a research domain, which would traditionally be associated with the Healthy Futures’ R&E Agenda (HFs), can benefit from a wider Responsible Futures’ R&E Agenda (RFs) and scope
RFs and HFs’ Creativity and Innovation in the way we operate at UoB has proved to lead to a broader and diverse set of opportunities

Futures
The Healthy Futures covers a wide range of discipline related to Health Research and Innovation where the expertise of social scientists, molecular and cell biologists, chemists, engineers and clinicians are brought together by the care for our communities. Whatever is the research and enterprise goals our researchers start their investigations from the listening of the voice of our communities and patients. Our expertise converge in exciting projects where basic knowledge generates innovative technological solutions and social policy models suitable at a global scale. The Healthy Futures Showcase Event we will hold on 5ht July at the Moulsecoomb Campus, Huxley Building will provide an overview of our sense of responsibility (We) in delivering knowledge and innovation in a wide range of key issues for our society.
