The Liverpool Research Institute for Climate and Sustainability (LiRICS) aims to accelerate interdisciplinary sustainability (especially climate action) research with impactful solutions for economic, legal, educational, environmental, and infrastructural systems.
Are you considering a future in policing, criminal justice, or the wider emergency services? Would you like to gain real insight into how these systems operate in the UK, beyond what you learn in the classroom? The LCAPS Summer and Winter School offers a unique opportunity to explore these careers through hands-on experiences, practical activities, and direct engagement with professionals working in the field.
LCAPS at Liverpool John Moores University has developed an international partnership with the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), supporting collaboration in policing education, research, and professional practice.
The Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Science areas of expertise are organised into research groups and exchanges which focus on the following: biomechanics, cardiovascular health, exercise metabolism, brain and behaviour, physical activity, sport psychology and football-related research.
Our research is applied in nature and is focused on physical activity, sedentary behaviour, fitness and health in laboratory and various real world settings.
The Mechanical Engineering and Materials Research Centre (MEMARC) specialises in fracture and contact mechanics, wave propagation in lattices and microstructures, thermal fatigue and thermal striping, materials development and processing, as well as dynamics and control systems. You can find out more about these research areas and the projects MEMARC are working on here.
The Fracture and Contact Mechanics specialises in the development and use of finite element structural and multi-physics packages.
MEMARC's members conduct research into materials development, as well as biological systems and sports engineering. Learn more about this research, the researchers who work in this area and the materials development and processing projects members have completed.
PhD students within the Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour are working on interesting projects including: investigating pain in autism, the impact of taste, and pain mechanisms.
Research suggests that autistic people are at a higher risk of suicide than non-autistic people. Figures show that up to 66% of autistic adults had thought about suicide during their lifetime (compared to 20% of non-autistic adults), and up to 35% had planned or attempted suicide.
