When you think about university research, you might picture labs and libraries - but our academics are making a real difference in communities around the world.

Dr Camilo Tamayo Gomez is leading the Transmedia for Transitional Justice project in Colombia, helping families find answers about loved ones who disappeared during the country's armed conflict.

The project combines participatory research, AI-assisted analysis, community mapping, drone technologies, and citizen-led storytelling to support communities in one of the world's most complex post-conflict settings.

The team has identified areas where clandestine mass graves are believed to be located - bringing hope to families who have spent decades searching for truth and closure.

Dr Tamayo Gomez said: "This work belongs to the communities. What we are doing is creating the conditions in which their knowledge, their testimony, and their demand for justice can be heard and acted upon."

The project will also collaborate with the University's Centre for Archaeology, whose experts have previously used non-invasive technology to discover mass graves linked to the Holocaust in Poland and genocide in Namibia.

Being able to support so many families in a country over 5,000 miles away from where we are, is truly amazing work - congratulations to Dr Gomez and everyone else involved 👏

"My journey began when I gave birth to my daughter and was then thinking about my future career and goals that I wanted to achieve. This originally led to me applying for a forensics course at a University College.

I began researching other options and this is when I found out that Huddersfield offered blended learning courses, which are mainly based at home, which for me, was a huge benefit with me having a young infant."

Emma, a Mental Health Nursing student, loves how her blended degree provides a flexible way to study. Her course uses mainly online-learning, but still provides practical, hands-on experience, with 20 set days per year on campus used for training.

This way of studying is a great option to learn flexibly around life's commitments. Find out more about Emma's journey and our blended Nursing degrees: https://hud.ac/w3p

Yorkshire roots. Global reach.

We're right here – and our new look is out in the world.

"Like most first-years, I had my fair share of rookie errors. I pulled too many late nights trying to finish assignments, ditched the gym and my social life in favour of 'getting uni work done', and constantly tried (and failed) to juggle my studies with a part-time job.

"But don’t worry, it all worked out in the end. I found my rhythm, figured out what actually helps, and somehow wrapped up the year with a first!"

A Huddersfield academic has been sharing his expertise during workshops at the University of Ghana and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi.

Dr Precious Adade Duodu recently helped bring together people from the UK and Ghana, as part of a long-term dementia healthcare research project led by the University.

The project is funded by the Research Investment Funding of the School of Human and Health Sciences, and builds on a growing body of evidence showing that dementia is an increasingly significant public health challenge in Ghana.
