Maltiti Mohammed is addressing the environmental and human health impacts of plastic waste in Ghana by proposing a sustainable solution – a clothing and accessories company that exclusively uses recycled plastic. By melting and extruding plastic into filaments, then turning them into yarn for fabric production, his project aims to…

Diego Calzada Fraile is addressing the challenge of enhancing immune responses to fight infection and improve vaccination. His proposed solution involves exploiting the communication between lymphocytes and dendritic cells, revealing that the interaction activates immune responses and provides novel functions that can be harnessed for therapeutic purposes.

The key principles are to promote data-driven, inter-disciplinary approaches to social sciences and the humanities, foster academic research that involves the genuine participation (through co-design) of local communities, industry and government, and to develop innovative courses at Undergraduate and Masters Level that attracts a wide spectrum of learners at key…
