Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Citizen Science Informed Decision-Support Tools Guiding Regenerative Practices in Coastal Mangrove Systems
This studentship would support the ESRC funded project “COASTMAN”, which is a joint endeavour with the University of British Columbia (UBC), the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO) and the University of Cape Coast. Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Probabilistic Modelling and Uncertainty Quantification for Micro-to-Mesoscale Peatland Dynamics
Peatlands like the Flow Country of northern Scotland are among the world’s most effective carbon sinks. Covering just 3% of the Earth’s land surface, peatlands store around one-third of global soil carbon and significantly moderate atmospheric CO. Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): RENEW-AR – Regenerative Ecosystem Narratives and Education with Augmented Reality
This project will enhance public understanding of regenerative innovation and climate change adaptation by co-designing and developing an augmented reality platform that links geolocated plant data to interactive narratives about ecosystem regeneration. Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Green Trade as a Catalyst for Knowledge Spillover and Regenerative Transition in the UK
Since the financial crisis in 2008, the UK has been experiencing stagnant productivity growth, with innovation and technological improvements identified as key remedies. Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Reducing waste through reuse – A virtue ethics perspective
Today, more clothes are made, purchased, and thrown away than ever before, generating an unprecedented 92 million tonnes of textile waste that is disposed of annually across the globe (Igini 2023), which has a detrimental impact on the planet. Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Accelerating multi-benefits and strategic Multi-use of ports and offshore renewable energy for a Net Zero Scottish North Sea
Due to the advent of containerisation and the emergence of new maritime trade patterns as a result of globalisation, the last decades of the twentieth century have heralded profound processes of port restructuring. Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Using a Nature-Engineering Based Solution to Reduce PM2.5 in Urban Environments
Particulate Matter (PM) is a generic term used to describe a complex mixture of solid and liquid particles of varying size, shape, and composition. … Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Co-designing equitable resilience adaptations to environmental hazards for disabled and older people
Aim. To co-design innovative nature-based and reused, repurposed and re/upcycled (3R) adaptations to environmental hazards, drawing on the expertise – experience, skills, and knowledge – of disabled and older people, in local communities in Scotland, to strengthen social inclusion and regenerate local environments. Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Beyond Net-Zero Housing – Community-Driven Decision Tools for Energy Retrofit Based on Carbon-Sequestering Materials
Aims. Energy retrofits of existing buildings play a critical role in reducing energy demand and cutting carbon emissions. Read more

Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Developing Speculative Design Tools to Envision Radical Regenerative Futures
Aims. This research aims to design, deploy, evaluate and disseminate participatory tools that enable non-designers—practitioners in diverse technical, social and environmental fields—to use speculative design methods to envision and prototype regenerative innovations involving their areas of specialism. Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): Scaling nature-based practices to provide multiple benefits from PROTECTing Scottish SOILs (PROTECT-SOIL)
Soils are crucial to our economy, environment and society due to the many ecosystem services they provide. Soils are formed over hundreds of years but can be washed away in a few hours. Read more
