Watch: Interdisciplinary Research Case Studies 2025
Ahead of the UMRI pump-priming awards opening in 2026, Creative Manchester have released a series of videos showcasing four interdisciplinary UMRI-funded research projects.
As one of the University鈥檚 four platforms, Creative Manchester convenes, develops and sustains interdisciplinary research communities across all three faculties and connects them to strategic partners in Greater Manchester. Fostering interdisciplinary research lies at the heart of the University鈥檚 goals and informs Creative Manchester鈥檚 focus to support and enable research projects that span from vastly different corners of the University.
The Creative Manchester-affiliated projects featured in the videos are:
- 鈥� with Dr Anke Bernau, Dr Aurora Fredrikson and Dr Ingrid Hanson
- 鈥� with Dr Riza Batista-Navarro and Dr Tom Flavel
- 鈥� with Prof Laura Black and Keisha Thompson
- 鈥� with Dr Ahu G眉mrah Parry
These short films provide insights into the world of interdisciplinary research, including project team composition, the participants鈥� experiences of interdisciplinary work and working with the Creative Manchester platform. They are designed to inspire potential UMRI pump-priming applicants who are looking to find out more about successful interdisciplinary research projects.
