Seaglider robots launching into the ocean to monitor plastics and temperature.
There are no simple solutions to complex problems like climate change, microplastics and antibiotic resistance. Today’s biggest challenges call for different perspectives, and a new, radical way of thinking.
Whether it’s understanding wars over natural resources or fighting social injustice across the globe, we believe we can make the biggest difference if we work together. If we break boundaries – from our doorstep to countries all over the world. If we inspire connected thinking in our teaching and research, and in our community.
That’s why we come together from different fields to learn, innovate, collaborate and help create a better future.
We call this Thinking Without Borders.
You’ll find more Thinking Without Borders stories throughout this prospectus, plus many more online: uea.ac.uk/stories

This unique park creates new opportunities for collaborative research. It brings together researchers from across the scientific, engineering, health, social science and economic communities. It also brings together the talents and expertise of Europe’s leading centres for research in food, health and the environment.
In the Park, the John Innes Centre is an international centre of excellence in plant science, genetics and microbiology. The Quadram Institute is dedicated to researching links between food science, gut biology and human health and disease. The Earlham Institute uses biotechnology and computational science to tackle some of today’s most ambitious biological questions. And The Sainsbury Laboratory is home to daring, long-term research into plant-microbe interactions. The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, which we helped to set up, provides key insights into the challenges of climate change.
