Research

Cross-disciplinarity is at the heart of what we do. Find out about UCL’s research, and how we are supporting the development of new research communities and collaborations through our research pages.

UCL Health of the Public Communities

In September 2020, UCL Health of the Public launched an academic communities scheme to encourage dynamic and innovative leaders to proactively develop themes that bring together new research communities. These academic communities will act as a catalyst to increase UCL’s cross-disciplinary public health research capacity.
