Areas of Strategic Research Importance (ASRIs) are strategic themes at the University of Huddersfield which create a focus for the development of our research portfolio in support of increasing its global reputation through the production of high quality outputs and generating impact in four broad areas:

  • Culture, Health and Wellbeing
  • Productivity
  • Sustainability
  • Equality, Cohesion and Security

The ASRIs create opportunities for cross-School engagement in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research.  Currently we have nine ASRis that are featured below.
