Circular Design is a discrete cluster within the institute, yet one which can boast both an impressive track record in grant capture from AHRC and BBSRC, and AKTPs worth in excess of £100k. The Textile Engineering and Materials (TEAM) group has achieved particularly high-profile international recognition from IUK-KTN/ Global Alliance Africa Lead Customer Programme and at London’s Fabrics Expo. ADH’s successful PhD cluster scholarship bid is in "Design for Circularity”. This is at the heart of a buoyant post-graduate culture in Design and Product Development.
