Research theme leaders

Our research leaders are the primary contact point for the Cabot Institute's research themes. They play an important role in building communities of engaged researchers who are focussed on gloabal challenges from across every discipline. They also work to devise strategy for the research themes, and work with their research communities to develop novel research that leads to integrated and practical solutions. 

The research leads are headed up by the Cabot Institute's Director Professor Guy Howard.
