LIAS Projects Showcase: A selected anthology of our research projects

The Leicester Institute for Advanced Studies (LIAS) is an interdisciplinary centre of excellence. Dedicated to creating a collaborative and inspiring environment, it brings together researchers from across all disciplines to deliver ambitious, transformative, and impactful research. This initiative is intended to help break down the silos that have traditionally been a feature of higher education research. It represents a step change in approach, allowing academics to be even more innovative and to bid for more ambitious research funding in the future.

The benefits of interdisciplinary research are plentiful. By bringing together diverse methodologies and conceptual frameworks, interdisciplinary research collaborations enable real-world challenges to be addressed, be that locally, nationally and globally. This Anthology celebrates some of the diverse interdisciplinary research projects awarded by The Leicester Institute for Advanced Studies. It invites readers to learn more about the projects taking place at the University, and to better understand the breadth of opportunity made possible through interdisciplinary research.
