Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC)

As the centrepiece to the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, the AWRC is dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of the population through innovations that help people move.

Our research is organised into three impact themes

+ Healthy and active 100 — prioritising research and innovation that prevents disease and supports people into 100 years of healthy and active life.
+ Living well with chronic disease — exploring the management and treatment of chronic disease, such as cancer, stroke, musculoskeletal disorders, diabetes and mental health, through physical activity as a therapy.
+ Technological and digital innovations to promote independent lives — focusing on the development and application of new and emerging technologies to help people move, improving health and wellbeing across the population.
