Additionally, Dr Tim Freeman is the Middlesex lead of our British Council-funded project in Malaysia in collaboration with Universiti Sains Malaysia and local Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). The project is delivering and evaluating interventions to improve the sexual and reproductive health needs of women migrant workers in Penang state.


This year, research by Dr Cathal Doyle of our School of Law also highlighted threats to indigenous tribes around the world in a contribution to the UN’s ‘State of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, Volume V, Rights to Lands, Territories and Resources’.


The defence of Human Rights is the focus of the European Human Rights Advocacy Centre (EHRAC). Based in the Faculty, it consists of a team of lawyers and NGO professionals that provide mentoring, training, and advice and support to human rights lawyers and NGOs working in challenging circumstances. In 2020, the Centre won 30 cases for 78 applicants, gaining a total of over €14 million in compensation. Issues included the persecution of people defending human rights and critical voices in Azerbaijan, Russia and Georgia.


Meanwhile, Professor Laurent Pech, Dr Joelle Grogan, Dr Joseph Corkin and Dr Damjan Kukovec have undertaken important research with European partners. Our EU-funded research project ‘Reconciling Europe with its Citizens through Democracy and Rule of Law’ (RECONNECT), which involves 18 academic institutions from 14 countries, has continued


to focus on strengthening the EU’s legitimacy, enabling it to become more attuned to citizen expectations. As part of the Horizon Europe project ‘Analysing and Preventing Extremism via Participation’ (PARTICIPATION) Professor Kevin McDonald and Dr Necla Acik collaborate with universities, NGOs and the private sector in eight countries to prevent extremism, radicalisation and polarisation through targeted social and educational interventions.


RISING UP THE RANKS


Since 2016 our research performance has risen strongly in all four major international research rankings (Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU)/Shanghai, QS, Times Higher Education (THE), and U.S. News Global Universities).


This culminated in a global top-200 position in Business and Economics in the 2021 U.S. News Ranking. Middlesex was the only modern UK university to make this Ranking (ranked at number 32 in the UK). On the 2021 ARWU/ Shanghai Ranking, Tourism was ranked 31st and fourth in the UK.

Analysis by the Chartered Association of Business Schools also placed us 29th


in the UK (out of 124) for research


income. In 2021, Middlesex entered the THE Impact Rankings for the first time, scoring in the 101-200 bracket globally and ranking shared 21st


in the UK (see page 28 for our rankings on individual SDGs).
