ROEHAMPTON UNIVERSITY LBG

Their core work

Roehampton University is a London-based university with strengths in humanities, cultural studies, and environmental sciences. Within H2020, their work spans classical reception studies in children's literature, 19th-century women's epistolary history, and environmental hydrology training. They contribute interdisciplinary research that bridges arts, humanities, and natural sciences, with a particular capacity for training networks and individual fellowship supervision.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

All three of Roehampton's H2020 projects started between 2015 and 2017, making it difficult to identify a meaningful evolution in focus. Their portfolio reflects a broad university profile rather than a strategic H2020 trajectory — projects span from environmental hydrology training to classical reception studies and Victorian-era women's history. No keyword data is available for either period, further limiting trend analysis.

With only three projects clustered in 2015-2017 and no subsequent H2020 activity, future direction is uncertain — potential partners should verify current research priorities directly.

How they like to work

Roehampton primarily joins projects as a partner (2 of 3 projects) and coordinated one individual fellowship (BBEB). Their 18 unique partners across 9 countries suggest they engage through broad European consortia rather than tight bilateral relationships. Their coordination experience is limited to a small-scale MSCA fellowship, indicating they are more comfortable as a contributing partner in larger networks.

Roehampton has worked with 18 partners across 9 countries, suggesting a reasonably wide European network for a university with only three H2020 projects. This breadth is largely driven by participation in the HypoTRAIN training network, which typically involves many partners.

What sets them apart

Roehampton's distinctive value lies in its combination of humanities scholarship and environmental science within a single institution, an unusual pairing in the H2020 landscape. For consortium builders in cultural heritage, classical studies, or environmental education, they offer a London-based partner with MSCA and ERC experience. However, their very small H2020 footprint means partners should look at their broader institutional research output beyond EU projects for a fuller picture.

Highlights from their portfolio

• OurMythicalChildhood
  An ERC Consolidator Grant — the most prestigious and competitive individual funding scheme in H2020 — studying classical antiquity in children's culture across Europe.
• HypoTRAIN
  Their largest funded project (EUR 273,288) and a cross-disciplinary training network combining physical, chemical, and biological processes in river systems.
