Enabling environment

At the University of Liverpool, research is a process of exploration through academic analysis where researchers, peers and mentors offer feedback and insights into the design and delivery process, in a focused and supportive environment.

Targeted funding and research support initiatives provide the space, time and resources required for academic endeavours to develop and flourish.

We continuously work towards creating an exciting research environment that supports the development of future research leaders, who are enabled to fulfil their potential and contribute towards our overarching aim to improve health, create wealth and ensure social justice.

Equipping our researchers with the means to fulfil their research aims and career potential is of primary importance to us at Liverpool. Strategic investment into our research facilities and researcher development programmes allow our academics to continue to push at research boundaries.
