Projects

Current funded research projects

National Centre for Nuclear Robotics

Funded by the EPSRC

The National Centre for Nuclear Robotics is developing technologies to address the challenges posed by nuclear environments and materials.

A total of eight universities, led by the University of Birmingham, are part of a consortium that received the funding for this centre. The focus of the University of Essex is to research the effects of radiation on the electronics in robotic systems, and increase the resilience of such systems against radiation damage.

Human Rights, Big Data and technology

Funded by ESRC

Based at Essex's Human Rights Centre, this interdisciplinary project examines the impact of big data, artificial intelligence and similar technologies, on human rights.

Business and Local Government Data Research Centre

Funded by ESRC, the BLG Data Research Centre is a collaborative interdisciplinary centre involving the University of East Anglia, University of Essex, University of Kent, and the London School of Economics. Professor Klaus McDonald-Maier is one of the Essex academics involved in the centre, and is a member of the local economic growth group.

INCASE

Funded by the EU.
