The spring 2023 edition of Re:action has been published – highlighting the University’s marine and maritime strengths.
Southampton’s significance as a city is heavily entwined with its maritime geography and history. This edition of Re:action celebrates the university’s well known and far reaching marine and maritime activities, which span the breadth of the triple helix of research, knowledge exchange and enterprise, and education.
These strengths are increasingly relevant, as 95 per cent of the UK’s trade is transported by sea and the oceans remain key to understanding and countering the effects of climate change.
The Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) was created a decade ago to foster and further advance the impact of Southampton’s interdisciplinary work in this area. While each project and programme of activity in this area is significant, collectively they also contribute to the further strengthening of Southampton and the Solent as an internationally important Maritime Cluster. As a result, they reinforce our status as a Civic University with societal and economic relevance to our region.
