Impetus Groups

Earth Observation Sciences Group

University of Leicester
The Earth Observation Science group, based in the Space Research Centre at the University of Leicester, is an internationally recognised multi-disciplinary team dedicated to research into many aspects of remote sensing, atmospheric and Earth surface science.
Embedded Systems & Communications Research Group Embedded Systems Research covers a wide range of issues concerning hardware, software, development, maintenance, and verification of all aspects of embedded systems. We pride ourselves on the novelty, applicability, and relevance of the work we do - both theoretical and practical. Our work is utilised in a number of application domains, for instance aerospace and automotive designs where low cost and high reliability are key design requirements.
Environment, People and Design (ePad)
Environment, People and Design (ePad) is a new research group led by Dr Peter Rutherford. It focuses on the application of physical principles to the environmental modelling and design of technologies, buildings and urban settlements. Research in the Environmental Physics and Design Research Group focuses on Social, Building and Urban Physics, Psycho Physics and Pedagogy, Low Carbon Building Design and Urban Design.
Global Monitoring for Environment Security  (GMES) GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) is a flagship EC/ESA programme which represents a concerted effort to bring data and information providers together with users, so they can better understand each other and make environmental and security-related information available to the people who need it through enhanced or new services.
Horizon Digital Economy Research Horizon is a research institute at The University of Nottingham engaged in Digital Economy Research. Horizon brings together researchers from a broad range of disciplines to investigate how digital technology may enhance the way we live, work, play and travel in the future.
Human Factors Research Group The University of Nottingham The Human Factors Research Group (HFRG) focuses on understanding characteristics and capabilities of people individually and in teams. The HFRG works on projects funded by sponsors from Research Councils, industry, European Commission and charities. We collaborate with colleagues from other disciplines, including manufacturing and electrical engineering, computer science, geospatial science, medicine and education, in our own and partner institutions.
Nottingham Transportation Engineering Centre NTEC is the UK's foremost university-based research organisation in pavement engineering, infrastructure asset management and their sustainability. Our research in Pavement Engineering has expanded since its inception in 1954 to embrace all pavement materials, design, evaluation and management.
Nottingham Geospatial Institute Nottingham Geospatial Institute (NGI) is a leading cross-disciplinary research and postgraduate teaching institute at The University of Nottingham, on campuses in the UK and China. Our specialisms include satellite navigation and positioning systems, photogrammetry, remote sensing, sensor integration, geo-informatics and data modelling, geospatial intelligence, location based services, semantics, reasoning and cognition.
Nottingham University Business School
Nottingham University Business School is an international leader in finance and management education and a research pioneer in entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability. We are ranked sixth out of 101 UK business and management institutions for the quality and volume of our research.
Space Technology Exchange Partnership   (GSTEP)
G-STEP is the satellite data solutions service from the University of Leicester that is enabling business and organisations to access and apply complex Earth Observation data in a simple and tailored way. With the establishment of the G-STEP project, the biggest barriers to the wider use of satellite data in the UK (knowledge, ease of access and relevant business solutions) have been addressed. Earth Observation technology is currently underexploited and has the potential to revolutionise business in a similar manner to the information technology expansion.
