Partnerships for the goals (17)

The physical, social and mental health benefits of sport, particularly organised and team sport, are well-documented. Despite this, studies show that physical activity among school-aged adolescents remains insufficient. This research project explored the levels of regular participation in sport among young people from 10 countries, their attitudes towards sports participation and the barriers  – including current global challenges such as COVID-19 and the cost-of-living crisis – that prevent them from playing more sport. 

The cleaning industry has long held a reputation for exploitation of its workers – providing pay and conditions below legal entitlements. This research explores the improvement of working standards in the cleaning industry; working with industry to implement a pricing tool for better transparency in contracting. 

To build sustainable supply chains and boost innovation and competitiveness in industrial data ecosystems, we need to incentivise openness. This project involves the first national advanced manufacturing survey to uncover how to best achieve this goal.
