Welcome to heat@uwe

Bridging the gaps in Health, Environment And Technology (HEAT) research

heat@uwe is an EPSRC-funded programme of activities to develop, facilitate and communicate interdisciplinary research between the Institute for Sustainability, Health and Environment (ISHE) and Bristol Institute of Technology (BIT).

Examples of priority areas include:

  • Using technology to support behaviour change in the environment/health sectors
  • The relationships between living environments and public health and the role of technology
  • Preparing businesses, the public sector, communities, towns and cities for climate change
  • Developing user-focused technologies using experience from health and environmental studies.

The ultimate aim of heat@uwe is to develop a long-term culture at UWE to sustain interdisciplinary research.
