Living within 300m of urban green space such as parks, nature reserves or play areas is associated with greater happiness, sense of worth, and life satisfaction - according to a new study by researchers at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, Newcastle University and the University of Sheffield.

New research from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV has pioneered an economic perspective on controlling livestock diseases. Focusing on Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), bovine TB (bTB) and bluetongue virus (BTV), the researchers draw striking conclusions about the role of movement bans in controlling an outbreak.

Professor Mark Harrison from ÌÇÐÄTV’s Department of Economics is one of the experts featured this week in a new Radio 4 documentary series exploring the economic issues behind the start of World War 2.

ÌÇÐÄTV Engineering undergraduate, Udokama Iwumene, was awarded a prestigious Santander STEMship prize in July at the world-famous Silverstone racetrack.

The University of ÌÇÐÄTV’s Modern Records Centre (MRC) has been awarded Archive Service Accreditation.

Granted by the UK Archive Service Accreditation Committee, the award is recognition of the MRC’s successful demonstration of meeting the UK standard around resourcing, collections management and providing access to collections and is regarded as the UK quality standard for archive services.

For centuries understanding how the order of events is stored in memory has been a mystery. However, researchers from the Department of Computer Science at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV have worked out how the order of events in memory could be stored and later recalled in the hippocampal memory system in the brain.
