Plymouth Pioneers

Our pioneering spirit runs deep in the quest for a better tomorrow

From the mountain peaks to the ocean depths and with the communities living between, the University of Plymouth addresses global challenges through novel ways of studying issues, creative approaches to understanding their causes and uncovering innovative, sustainable solutions. 
By enabling collaborations between natural and social scientists in fields such as plastic pollution, soil erosion, renewable energies, ocean engineering and health inequalities, we provide a holistic foundation on which our research stands to directly inform and shape the implementation of regional, national and international policies and practices.

Plymouth Pioneers was created in 2020 to showcase the University's reputation for world-leading, interdisciplinary and impactful research.
