The WISDOM Research Network has partnered with researchers to support their projects.

We have partnered with researchers from the University of Oxford, University of Birmingham, University of Reading, University of Bath, Oxford Brookes University, University of York, and more.

Member schools who have participated in research activities have found them greatly rewarding, and we highly encourage member schools to get involved. Currently, the WISDOM Research Network is partnering with researchers working on:

• Improving access to mental health resources
• Understanding how AI impacts children’s development
• Developing resources for schools regarding common problems, such as sport injuries, nicotine use, and selective eating challenges
• Interventions for common mental health problems in young people

and more!
