Research
Our place in the upper echelons of world research has been earned by using our ideas, skills and understanding for the benefit of society.
Nowhere is that better exemplified than in our sustainability research. Led by pioneering experts working from a world class facility, Lancaster University is working with international partners to address the environmental issues we all share.
