About our research
We are part of a world-class institution that engages with international and national governments and institutions while also being rooted in the City of Edinburgh, with close partnerships across the Edinburgh and South-East Scotland City Region.
Shaped by these local and global perspectives, we value the role of research, knowledge exchange and impact in contributing to equitable, sustainable and socially responsible developments in education, sport, physical activity and wellbeing.
We aim to develop and sustain research excellence, make major contributions to practice, set agendas, engage in futures thinking while responding to the needs of our diverse stakeholders. Alongside our colleagues across the University of Edinburgh, and guided by our Research and Innovation Strategy 2030, we aim to make a significant difference to the future of health and care, tackle the climate and environmental crisis, and harnessing data, digital and AI for public good.
