Digital Futures brings together researchers into multidisciplinary communities to tackle important research problems, build critical mass in new and emerging research areas, and work with external stakeholders.
Digital Futures brings together over 2200 researchers from over 30 different disciplines across all three of the University’s faculties into multidisciplinary communities to tackle important research problems, build critical mass in new and emerging research areas and to work with external stakeholders to support Greater Manchester's ambitions as a leading digital city-region.
We bring our knowledge to bear on the great issues facing the world in the 21st century, exploring the complex interplay between scientific, engineering, social, wealth creation, and quality of life concerns. We are able to combine disciplines and capabilities to meet both the challenges of leading-edge research and the external demands of government, business and communities.
Come along to one of our events or get in touch with our team directly at digitalfutures@manchester.ac.uk to find out more about how we can work together.

Themes
Digital technology enables new modes of intellectual pursuit, creative expression, and cultural production. We aim to better understand how it’s reshaping our cultural landscapes, past, present and future.
The impact of digital technology on global economic and financial systems, patterns of employment and workplace practices, and its integration in industrial processes.
Using digital technologies to improve health and (social) care. The goal is to enhance patient care, streamline healthcare processes, and promote preventive health measures.
Given our increasing dependence on digital technologies, the issue of whether and how we can trust the systems we use and the people we interact with has become critical.
We explore how digital technologies, from sensor networks through to digital twins, are transforming both real and virtual worlds, as well as the lives of those who inhabit them.
