Hindi films and the experiences of watching them are an inextricable aspect of the South Asian diaspora in the UK. Literature on the cinema-going experience of South Asian diasporic communities in the UK highlights the crucial role that film screenings, specialised cinemas and other sites of cultural aggregation had in community building. Within this broad context, the earlier Multilingual Euro-Bollywood project placed the UK and the English language as liminal creative spaces for Indian cinema to be distributed organically across Europe and reach broader audiences. From the project, it emerged that the UK is still (certainly linguistically) a "stop over" for the cultural transfer and distribution of Indian cinema to other European countries. In this light, this project centres around the recently acquired Cinema Museum London's Indian cinemas collection currently held at DMU. The unique publicity material in this collection dates from the 1948, year immediately post-independence, and is a tangible and untold testimony of the global success and economic growth of Indian creative industries in the UK. The strategic loan of the collection by the Cinema Museum London to DMU is due to the presence of a large South Asian demographic in the Midlands, and the possibility of developing a regional hub for the preservation and public engagement with Indian film heritage in the UK. Thus, "Creative Archives", will use the DMU Indian cinema collection and digital storytelling to involve the community to engage, beyond the mere experience of film viewing, with other multilingual mediatic experiences that constitute Indian film culture. By engaging with the publicity material held in the collection, "Creative Archives" will showcase Indian film heritage through a variety of on-line and off-line activities to re-memorialize identities, values and commemorate the 75th anniversary of Indian independence. Preserving this heritage is important to enable the engagement of the present generation with their past. The diasporic Indian nation is evoked not just through the production aspects of films' artistic materials (how they foreground a narrative moment of the national Hindi cinema), but also in the affective values triggered by the consumption of the film ephemera during the planned community engagement activities; these artefacts are central for embodying social moments where the notion of 'India', and 'national culture' are preserved, transferred or articulated in the UK.

Adolescence is a critical life stage where the foundations of lifelong health and wellbeing are laid. It is now well-established that most serious mental disorders that disable or kill in adult life have an onset between the ages of 12-25, with over half having an onset before the age of 16. While disorders such as anxiety, depression and psychosis have an adolescent onset their recognition is often delayed, and interventions, when offered, are often 'late'; only when the disorders have become established and disability set in. The majority of adolescents live in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) where resources are scarce, the stigma of ill-health high, and the most vulnerable are at the greatest disadvantage. There is a frequent association between mental health problems and physical problems, especially those related to nutrition, both undernutrition and obesity. The most common non-communicable disorders (NCDs) of adolescence, and their greatest burden, is hence related to a combination of mental ill-health and nutrition-related problems. It is well-established from work in high-income countries that such disorders can be prevented and, if identified early, be treated with low-intensity interventions to prevent chronicity and continuity into adult life. The ISOBAR project aims to implement evidence-based interventions in school-settings in two LMICs, India and Nigeria. The project team has extensive experience in working with young people in school-settings in these countries. Our previous work in these countries has shown that while many adolescents suffer from such disorders and see schools as places where they would seek help, almost no state-funded school in such settings offers any health programmes that promote positive health and prevent serious disorders from emerging. We will recruit and train school-based counsellors in evidence-based interventions which have been tailored to local socio-cultural context and offer these in a staggered manner to three schools at each site (two in India, one in Nigeria). We will conduct this work in an equitable partnership with schools, young people, their carers, local community organisations, health providers and policymakers who have strong and well-established links. Using an implementation research framework, we will evaluate our programme for whether it is acceptable to the local community, useful in promoting positive health, preventing serious disorders from emerging, and ensuring that those who need specialist care receive it in a timely and effective manner. We will determine the costs and benefits of our intervention and explore factors that affect its sustainability beyond the lifetime of our project. The work will leave a lasting legacy that has the potential to transform the health and well-being of millions of adolescents in the developing world.

The RESIDE (Residential building energy demand reduction in India) project will help support the improvement of living conditions for millions of Indian citizens through establishing the knowledge base to develop a residential building code for high quality, low-energy housing across all five climatic zones in India. The project brings together an interdisciplinary team of architects, engineers, digital scientists, urban planners and behavioural researchers to assess all aspects of the residential energy use problem, including performance of the building fabric; in-home appliances including heating, ventilation and air conditioning; indoor environment and occupant behaviour. RESIDE will undertake surveys and monitoring of energy consumption in 2000 homes spread across the five different climatic zones in India in order to build up a new, open access database for policy and practitioner communities in India and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In 10% of these homes, we will also trial and evaluate a Smart Home Energy Management System, to be designed within the project, to enable householders greater control over their comfort and energy consumption. These activities will be used to develop low-cost monitoring and post-occupancy evaluation protocols suitable for the Indian situation. This will not only improve Best Practice, but allow a framework by which consistent data can be collected and added to the RESIDE database. Using novel techniques developed by the project team for assessing the potential up-scaling of individual household measures and actions to a neighbourhood level, RESIDE will explore and establish protocols for assessing the potential for, and likely benefits of, widespread take up of energy efficiency and rooftop solar technologies at a community scale. By engaging with a wide range of stakeholders involved in planning and construction throughout the project, and by undertaking an extensive review of policy experiences in similar countries, the RESIDE project will establish the key factors essential for consideration in the development of a new residential building code for India. Then, building on the extensive data collected through the project, and a set of co-design workshops, the project will develop a proposed framework for a new residential building code.
