SPARK membership

A community driven by expertise, creativity, curiosity and entrepreneurship focussed on tackling complex challenges facing societies around the world.

Located under one roof in an attractive and stimulating environment designed to encourage out-of-the-ordinary creative thinking, SPARK brings together Cardiff University’s internationally leading social science research centres and institutes alongside our expansive, multi sector partners.
