Norwich Research Park

UEA is part of Norwich Research Park, home to a unique concentration of multidisciplinary expertise. This ensures we are well placed to carry out internationally influential research and contribute to the knowledge and understanding of global challenges.

Vital Support In Trying Times

The generous support UEA receives from trusts and foundations becomes even more crucial during times of unexpected challenge, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to trust and foundation funders, UEA students facing hardship were able to apply for emergency grants. As the University looked at how it could help to manufacture antibacterial handwash for the NHS or support the work of scientists producing COVID-19 diagnostic tests, trusts and foundations worked with us to make things happen.

We are eternally grateful to our trust and foundation supporters for their help during this challenging time and for continuing to support UEA’s work.
