National Innovation Centre for Rural Enterprise (NICRE)

We are delighted to be a partner in the National Innovation Centre for Rural Enterprise (NICRE). Together with the CCRI, we form the Southwest team, working with the Enterprise Research Centre at Warwick University and the Centre for Rural Economy (CRE) at Newcastle University. Research England is funding this exciting research collaboration for three years, which started in September 2020.

NICRE research activities and outputs at the RAU are led by NICRE Deputy Director Professor Tom MacMillan.

Publications

These documents list peer reviewed research papers, books, conference presentations, research and consultancy reports and details of our PhD students, including those graduating each year.

Our research publications are deposited in CREST – a joint repository for research outputs from members of the Consortium for Research Excellence, Support and Training (CREST). CREST is a sub-association of GuildHE, a representative body for Higher Education in the UK.

Cultural heritage

Based at the newly established RAU Swindon, this research cluster is examining the historic environment.

This includes a number of archaeological projects in Britain and overseas as well as studies of historically important industrial buildings and landscapes. The group has a strong interest in connections between soils and historic land-use, using shallow geophysics, pXRF and UAV imaging as data sources. Heritage-based regeneration is another area of focus. The cluster has specific expertise in cave and subterranean archaeology both in the UK and Africa.

Rural economy

Researchers at the RAU understand that land and landscape are a dynamic entity, the product of millennia of human curation, in the countryside and small rural towns.

The rural economy includes industries traditionally associated with rural areas, such as agriculture, forestry and sectors such as creative industries, technology orientation across businesses and the service industry.
