Reimagining Ageing, led by Professor Anne Forster, @astillSL and Dr Maria Kapsali, aims to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration to develop novel, imaginative solutions to the global challenge of healthy ageing, with a focus on reducing inequalities in later life.
Remaking Places, led by Dr Radhika Borde @PaulChatterton9, Dr Helen Wright, @gselim74 and @KatyJWright1, will support place-based coalitions to reimagine, rethink, learn, act upon, and make practical interventions to build thriving, hopeful, joyful, safe, resilient places.
The Interdisciplinary Network on Time, led by Prof Tim Heaton, @KahrynHughes and Dr Chris Birchall, is focused on fundamental knowledge creation, using interdisciplinary approaches with potential application to many of today’s challenges.
Global Biosphere Sensing Network, led by Ryan Neely, @ZoologyDave and @DrSimon_Goodman, will incorporate postgrads, professional staff, technicians and academics, hosting events, generate synthesis reviews, and conduct outreach on #Biosphere sensing.
