At Essex we strive to undertake research that has the potential to change the world. Every project we support is directed by a desire to make a difference.
From creating a tool that helps governments test their economic policies before putting them in place, to coining the term and concept 'Green Exercise', our researchers continue to develop ground-breaking research that has the potential to transform lives.
