Development of a Roadmap for Scaling-up Use of Solar Energy for Climate Resilient Water Supply Systems in Rwanda

Given Rwanda’s hilly topography, water supply systems require significant pumping to move water from valleys to hilltops. This leads to high electricity and diesel costs, and in many remote areas, intermittent power supply causes frequent water shortages. Consequently, water provision is often expensive and unreliable.


Heritage crops for a resilient future

This project supports Sowing Your Seeds by working with Garden Organic to co-create a bespoke process for capturing, evaluating and evidencing outcomes. The evaluation process is embedded within the wide-ranging activities of Sowing Your Seeds.


BioRich: Feeding Biochar to Ruminants

Agriculture now finds itself in a changing landscape where old methods and expectations are now being questioned. It is critical that new, holistic, methods are found to improve animal and soil health whilst benefiting the environment and financially supporting farmers.


RISING forward

A panel debate to consider what are the practical steps that need to be taken for the UK and the EU to move forward in peace after Brexit - with UK and European politicians.


Towards quick clinical adaption of Diagnostic Decision Support System (DDSS) for pregnancy monitoring in low-resource settings

This project aims to develop advanced algorithms to convert EHG to TOCO-like waveforms to assist clinicians for fast adoption of EHG in clinical practice. Further, clinically useful features will be extracted from the derived waveforms to develop a Diagnostic Decision Support System (DDSS), which helps reducing the training requirements for clinicians, enabling wide pregnancy monitoring for low-resource settings.
