SF is cross-faculty, and aims to; identify funding, develop teams, write and refine bid documents to help researchers to identify colleagues across our Faculties and world-leading research institutes. In addition, we will develop connections with industry partners, partner institutions and legislators to help develop new methods and policy.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainable Futures is structured around six distinct research themes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Resilient Futures,<\/li>\n<li>Resourceful Futures,<\/li>\n<li>Inspired and Informed Futures,<\/li>\n<li>Net Zero Futures,<\/li>\n<li>Inclusive and Prosperous Futures<\/li>\n<li>Healthy Futures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These themes are cross-cutting and aim to enable interdisciplinary research projects and impact. We are also aiming to develop a culture of sustainability education through our students and ECRs (Early Career Researchers), through CDTs (Centres for Doctoral Training) and masterclasses in research methodology focused on these pressing areas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainablefutures.manchester.ac.uk\/challenges\/healthy-futures\/\">Healthy Futures<\/a> aligns strongly with the Faculty and has two streams:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainablefutures.manchester.ac.uk\/challenges\/healthy-futures\/human-health-wellbeing\/#d.en.880213\">Human Health and Wellbeing<\/a>: Being healthy is important for building inclusive, prosperous, and sustainable societies.
