Our teams

Many Happy Returns is a great example of our multidisciplinary work. Because chemists, psychologists, engineers and language experts all work together on this project. And they work with an equally diverse group of stakeholders from business (global and local) and policy.

You can also find out more about our Management Team, who are responsible for the overall ethos of the Grantham Centre.

But don’t forget our Operations Group, they run the Grantham Centre day-to-day. If you want to get in touch with us, this is the best place to start.

To find out about the Grantham Scholars, look for their dedicated project pages. Find out more about the Grantham Centre here.

You can look up The University of Sheffield staff here.
