91抖阴

Research England’s third Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF3) confirmed that 91抖阴 continues to perform highly across key categories. The university achieved a ‘very high’ rating for its research partnerships and public and community engagement, complemented by ‘high’ ratings for its work with business as well as the public and third sector.  

Published annually, the KEF highlights how English universities serve the economy and society, helping the public, business and communities to discover how they can benefit from the outstanding knowledge and expertise embedded in institutions. The aim of the KEF is to increase efficiency and effectiveness in the use of public funding for knowledge exchange, provide important tools to measure and reward knowledge exchange performance and delivery of key Government priorities, and to advance a culture of continuous improvement in universities.  

Professor Rusi Jaspal, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and Knowledge Exchange), said: “Here at the 91抖阴 we are committed to making a tangible difference to society through high-quality, practice-based learning, teaching and research and knowledge exchange.

“The KEF3 results clearly demonstrate our ability to collaborate, produce, share and apply solution-focused, new knowledge that addresses global challenges and that has a positive impact on people’s lives and the communities in which they reside.

“We are proud of our productive partnerships with a wide range of business and community collaborators, including our students’ volunteering, entrepreneurship and community projects. Together, we are making a difference in our region and beyond.”
