Research impact
The Research Policy Office provides support for researchers in identifying potential impact, developing clear evidence for established impact, and supporting public engagement and communication in relation to the University’s impact agenda. This links to the preparation of the University’s impact submission to the Research Excellence Framework (REF), ensuring that the impact profile of the University is optimised.
