Multidisciplinary networks, centres and institutes

Our Global Challenge Institutes harness the talents of a wide variety of researchers to address some of the world’s most important issues. Imperial is a member of several UKRI national institutes which bring together expertise around a defined research area or address a specific challenge.

The Imperial Centres of Excellence aim to galvanise a critical mass of researchers, transcending Faculty boundaries to support a multidisciplinary theme. The Imperial Networks of Excellence aim to establish and grow connections around an important multidisciplinary area that is being explored at an earlier stage than the centres.
