How our themes collaborate
Who actually writes with whom. Each line is co-authorship between two of our four research themes, counted from our research outputs for 2018 to 2025 and including our doctoral researchers, who are placed with their supervisor. The thin connections matter as much as the thick ones: they are where a cross-theme collaboration is only just beginning.
