Institute for Connected Communities (ICC)

Students sitting in front of a computer ready to apply

The Institute for Connected Communities (ICC) puts connected offline and online communities at the heart of our research, exploring contemporary issues including harms, cybercrime, safety, security, health and wellbeing.

The Institute for Connected Communities logo

ResearchThatMatters

From working with some of the poorest, most marginalised and mobile communities in the UK to promote health and reduce inequalities, to working closely with the UK and international governments, safety tech industry, NGOs and charities in the online harms and cybercrime arenas, we use cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches to produce high-quality research that directly influences policy and practice, and that is always  people-led and always  focused on impact.
