Affiliates

The HTI provides clear added value by enabling activities that cannot be achieved through individual groups, Schools, or Colleges alone. It acts as an enabler and connector, supporting interdisciplinary research and translation while allowing delivery to remain with research teams and partners. As such, we have many affiliates from across the University who make up the institute
