Welsh Institute for Natural Resources

Welcome to the Welsh Institute for Natural Resources

Working in partnership, around the world, for a secure future

The Welsh Institute for Natural Resources is a leading research and development centre at Bangor University dedicated to tackling the three major challenges facing mankind in the coming decades:

 

Greater than the sum of our parts

We firmly believe that an intra-discipliniary approach to addressing these issues is the only way forward. It is only through bringing together the best expertise from a range of academic disciplines and commercial backgrounds that we can develop applied, sustainable solutions.

 

At home and around the world

We work locally, regionally and globally to develop innovative ways of improving our use of natural resources and to understand the complexities associated with people, planet and prosperity in decision making. In addition to very strong links with local and national businesses we also have an established presence in Africa and Asia and are active on every continent of the globe.

 

Collaboration, not isolation

We work in collaboration with hundreds of commercial and academic partners from all sectors and disciplines. Together we are working towards a planet that is fit for our future.
