As a research-led Centre, our work has connected with government and industry strategy on digital, manufacturing and performance as areas for improvement. Our extensive collaboration with industry and policymakers alike has resulted in engagement with real-world challenges and has led to our core agenda for future research.

From this base, then, we have established six major emerging research areas for work on systems approaches to infrastructure through to 2030. These six research areas are:

Research Areas

Complex

Complexity and Resilience

As infrastructure systems become seen as interconnected, open systems, the complexity grows.
Integ

Systems Integration

The process of making constituent parts of a system work together, and the role of systems engineering leadership on infrastructure interventions.
Data

Data-Driven Systems Engineering

To understand patterns in complex infrastructure systems

Block 2

Restart

Restart, reset and reinvent: Transforming construction

Pivoting towards the future of systems engineering and innovation
Infrastructure

Infrastructure Life-Cycles

How are questions about infrastructure through life, starting with operating infrastructure, but also considering delivery and reuse of materials.
Carbon

Carbon Neutral to Net Zero Pollution

Can systems thinking lead to new ways to consider infrastructure that support a move towards zero pollution
