Research at WIT
A guiding principle for WIT is that prioritisation is given to research activity which can achieve the highest international standards and can be networked into the international research community. While the Institute recognises the important contribution made by researchers working on their own or in teams, the majority of today's researchers work in larger teams, often within multidisciplinary groups, tackling problems from a number of different angles. A full list of research centres and groups is available below.
