CRONEM is a multidisciplinary research centre in the field of nationalism, ethnicity and multiculturalism. It brings together those at the University of Surrey and Roehampton University who are engaged in issues which lie at the nexus between nation, ethnicity, multiculturalism, citizenship and migration. Reflection on these issues through arts and humanities disciplines provides a distinctive focus for this Centre. CRONEM focuses on crucial developments within contemporary society by drawing on the expertise of those working in internationally renowned academic units across the areas of Anthropology, Dance, Economics, Education, European Studies, Policy Studies, Politics, Psychology and Sociology. It also benefits from the expertise of an Advisory Board composed of renowned figures from the fields of academia, government, media and user groups.

The crime and security initiative at Surrey seeks to provide a network to bring together colleagues from within the Faculty and across the University who have an interest in research in this area. In this way exploitation of the considerable strengths derived from a history of existing scholarly activity is achieved. This will cover a varied range of disciplines for the development of new research collaborations which chime with contemporary evidence based policy issues and contribute to emergent developments within Crime and Security. Members of the Group are part of the multi-institutional Sexual Offences Research Initiative (www.sori.co.uk) and the Groupe Européen de Recherche sur les Normativités (www.gern-cnrs.com).

Digital World Research Centre (DWRC) aims to develop and apply a process of user-centred innovation in digital media technology, based on the interplay of user, design, business and technology research. We also strive to apply this technology for social benefit through various forms of inclusive research and design. Current research includes a combination of PhD and funded research projects in the areas of digital photography, community-generated media, digital product design and ICT for older people. Research is funded by UK and EU Research Councils, and industrial sponsors such as Kodak, Vodafone, Microsoft and British Telecom.

In addition to an understanding of the fundamental biological effects of foods and nutrients on health, there is a crucial need to understand consumer behaviour and choice of foods and to integrate these insights with those from the biological sciences. FCBHRC offers a solution to integrate the social and biological sciences needed to address these crucial issues. The major driving force behind the Research Centre is the need to translate basic biological knowledge on food safety, diet and health in order to facilitate the improvement of people’s lives.
