Impact and Knowledge Exchange
Knowledge Exchange (KE) is a mechanism for achieving impact.
Through mutually beneficial activities between the university and external partners, we deliver breakthroughts that have an impact on society and the economy. We work with local, global and national partners including businesses and industry, policymakers, charities and local communities.
Our KE activities include business engagement, IP and commercialisation, engaging the public, influencing policymakers, and advancing local growth and regeneration.
Our researchers work across three campuses in the UK, engaging those who benefit from our research through knowledge exchange activities that have real-world impact. Working across disciplines and with diverse partners, our research provides solutions to health and wellbeing, sustainability and the environment, culture and improved quality of life.
