From microplastics in our oceans to water wars and social injustice; and from cutting edge research to the learning experiences we offer.
Data That Changes Lives
2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every single day! Coming together from a variety of fields, we turn data into insight to save lives and change lives. We’re tackling complex problems and developing innovative solutions in all kinds of areas from inequality, dementia and climate change to personalised medicine and human rights.
Net Zero Emission
Carbon is one of the building blocks of life. But carbon emissions caused by humans have shifted the carbon balance and are causing global warming. At UEA, we come together to collaborate, innovate and tackle the world’s problems from different perspectives. Discover more about our carbon stories from graphene batteries, lockdown emissions and over - hunting in the Amazon to striving for net zero emissions and studying carbon absorption in the Arctic.
