Collaborations and Research Networks
Combatting Health Inequalities in East London
In collaboration with the Lifelong Health Team at QMUL, we contribute to world-leading medical research and education about how best to tackle place-based health inequalities in East London. With stark inequalities in healthy life expectancy in Tower Hamlets and Newham, this exciting project reinforces the MEI and Queen Mary's commitment to our local area.
The East London Research Network
As part of Queen Mary's Civic University Agreement, the MEI convenes the University's East London Research Network, which brings together researchers, students, campaigners, and the public to share research and innovation which is conducted in our local area. The ELRN seeks to ensure that Queen Mary continues to support 'healthy and sustainable futures' for the two million people who live in and around the East End.
Arts and Culture Advocacy Fellowships
In May 2022, in partnership with Queen Mary's Arts and Culture Team, the MEI launched a three-year fellowship scheme for artists, writers and heritage professionals to make the case for the arts and cultural sectors and supported the creation of the Centre for Creative Collaboration.
