We are delighted to host our second Impact Festival. As a University, we're committed to maximising the impact of our research to benefit society and the planet. Our Research and Innovation Strategy sets out how we will engage with our partners across industry, policy, practice, and the public to deliver this commitment.
Initiatives such as The Impact Festival play an important role in strengthening the University’s already vibrant culture of innovation, creating an environment in which engagement and impact are supported, valued and rewarded.
