    Bringing business engagement and research impact together

    We are the first Russell Group University to bring Business Engagement and Research Impact into one team within the University’s Research Strategy and Service Division. This team enhances opportunities for impact across the research lifecycle, developing and stewarding research collaborations with external partners. They also support researchers to develop the skills and understanding needed to achieve impact with their research, and enable pathways to impact through creating opportunities for visibility and engagement, and providing access to institutional funds such as UKRI Impact Acceleration Accounts.
