Cross-cutting research

The founding motto of the University of Sheffield is Rerum Cognoscere Causas, meaning 'To discover the causes of things'. Today, this ethos continues to hold strong and our researchers work across disciplines to solve big challenges such as how to deal with the pressure on our resources or the impact of changing demographics. This film demonstrates how our cross-cutting research themes are taking knowledge from one area of the University and applying it to another to deliver significant societal and economic benefit.
