At Cranfield we envision a future where innovative solutions meet policing and security challenges, transforming the pursuit of knowledge into a force for change. In navigating the complexities of the modern world, our goal is to build a secure and innovative future, where security is not just a concept but a driving force for positive transformation.

Our academic and research community includes technologists and social science experts with a range of security clearances, focused on application-oriented challenges and supporting policing and the security agenda beyond traditional definitions. We encompass areas such as advanced vehicle engineering, autonomous systems and materials and manufacturing.

Our academics work collaboratively to break down silos and enhance information sharing, promoting pan-university and industry collaboration on research. We have security-focused academics as well as those with broader interests, creating a dynamic mix that allows us to see things from multiple perspectives. The emphasis is always on impact and concrete outcomes.
