We are an inclusive interdisciplinary research community guided by input from an established industry and professional organisation network.

Each interconnected studentship is supported by academic supervisors and the wider Inclusive Engineering Excellence Hub team, guided by our extensive external network to connect best practice initiatives and diversification in the research.
