Research & Professionals

EWB-UK is working in collaboration with universities bringing current, development engineering based, problems into the UK so that a larger period of time may be spent on the research and design of new innovation and production of solutions which benefit the developing world.

Research

The research projects are aimed at all levels of tertiary education, across all disciplines. This is done through creating partnerships with university departments and NGOs, as well as students and academic staff championing the projects. Click here for the EWB-UK Reseach homepage
