Get involved with the research themes of the Brighton Futures

Are you familiar with the Brighton Futures yet? There are five themes – Connected, Creative, Healthy, Radical and Responsible, and the idea is that researchers join working teams of these research themes to develop collaborative bids, publications and so on.
