RESEARCH
THEMES
Our vision is to be recognised across the world as a university that addresses the needs of society through innovative interdisciplinary research. We’re proud that our work is already making a positive impact on people’s health, education and well-being, and we’re working hard to do even more through research that is embodied within three major themes: Cultures, Communities and Society; Global Security and Resilience; and Living Well.
Explore our themes
Cultures, Communities and Society
To understand individual experiences and behaviours, we must make sense of the related communities, cultures and societies in which they live. We learn from the past to provide for the future.
Global Security and Resilience
With an increasing population, there is a global need for a sustainable way of living. We protect the health, welfare and functioning of our communities and the environment for a secure and resilient future.
Living Well
Ensuring the wellbeing of societies is a global challenge. We understand, improve and influence behaviour change, developing approaches and interventions for positive health outcomes.
Research programmes
Within our themes, 12 research programmes highlight the strength of strategic research activity at Stirling.
