Themes and topics of our research

Our research interests

We research a wide range of themes and potential topics.

Our broad areas of interest are:

  • improving our understanding of the risks and issues we are responsible for – their nature, causation and potential mitigations or solutions;
  • providing evidence and insight regarding changes in our environment;
  • identifying what is regarded as good practice and what has been assessed to be effective in our sector, or in other sectors, that can inform our work; 
  • evaluating our activities;
  • exploring our key stakeholders’ views – e.g. their understanding and assessment of our activities, or their views on changes we are considering.
