We can’t pretend our societies were built to be equitable, diverse or inclusive. In harnessing tools and systems to make them more so - AI, robotics social media - we cannot afford to allow these solutions become part of the problem.

Our researchers are looking at how today’s societies, communities and institutions are designed, constructed and led, to build these principles in to our social, political and economic infrastructure to widen opportunity, provide effective safeguards, and realise shared prosperity.

Here's what we're doing.

Care and equity. For people.

Rising living costs, challenges in end-of-life care, and limited access to preventative solutions for preterm babies hold everyone back.

We’re tackling these challenges head-on by redefining the Real Living Wage, equipping healthcare professionals with tools for easier end-of-life conversations and creating dementia-friendly spaces to enhance patient care.

Our graduates are also applying our expertise to make a positive impact by saving lives with the mOm Incubator, a cost-effective solution for preterm babies worldwide.

Utilising AI. For our benefit.

Flooding. Injustice. Crime. Misinformation. There’s plenty for us to worry about. At Loughborough University, we're addressing the root cause of our shared concerns. 

Innovations like Brain-on-a-Chip for neurological research are changing how we understand our own brains. Our RECOVER initiative is a game-changer in forensics. 

Our researchers are deploying AI and machine learning to improve how people with learning disabilities engage with education, to bring fully interactive hologram technology into the classroom, and even to revolutionise how our supermarket sandwiches are made. 

Join our mission at Loughborough University

Time is running out for our at-risk communities, so we're harnessing the technologies that will make them safer, more equitable and more inclusive.

Loughborough University researchers and innovators are challenging AI and machine learning to become more than tools of convenience and harness their power as tools of empowerment.

Join us in our pursuit of a safer, kinder and more equitable world.

Because the world can't wait. Neither should you.
