The roundtable featured research showcases from researchers and University leaders, demonstrating the breadth and depth of expertise from across the University. The discussion provided an opportunity to explore how Brunel's research can continue to inform policy and address key societal challenges.

Our 6th Annual Survey, out today, shows that disabled people want to be more active but still face barriers to participation, such as accessibility, affordability, and wellbeing. Read more on our website: www.activityalliance.org.uk/news/10646-s... #ActivityAllianceSurvey
52% of disabled people are less likely to feel they have the opportunity to be as active as they would like to be (compared to 74% of non-disabled people).

What stands out is a stronger emphasis on cross-cutting themes, including:
• place, pride, social cohesion
• participation
• growth • value
• prevention and early intervention 
• resilience • AI • sustainability 
 A clear call to action for more joined-up, interdisciplinary research!

ARIs create a clear entry point for researchers to engage with policy through sharing existing work, shaping new projects, building collaborations. This is a great opportunity to support more evidence-informed decision making.
