Three Kingston University case studies featured in new University Alliance initiative to spotlight real world impact of university research
Posted Monday 23 March 2015
A report by University Alliance, of which Kingston University is a member, concludes that collaboration and connectivity must be top priorities for universities and funders if the UK is to continue to lead the world in research and innovation.
The report, Evolve. Connect. Succeed. Funding a healthy research and innovation ecosystem was launched at an event attended by vice-chancellors, parliamentarians, businesses and researchers. The accompanying website resource of more than 60 impact case studies was drawn from submissions from Alliance member universities to the REF 2014 exercise.
The case studies were grouped in four categories and the research from Kingston University is:
• Bridges for more effective post-stroke care (category: Improving healthcare)
• Protecting victims of press abuse (category: Shaping society)
• Tracking sports success (category: Shaping society)
Increased global competition means that for Britain's research and innovation ecosystem to continue to flourish it will need greater collaboration with partners within academia and with businesses, charities and governments. In response, Alliance universities are working collaboratively to deliver a new doctoral training scheme. The Doctoral Training Alliance will be built around joint research strengths and embed close relationships with industry from design to delivery.
