WHAT DO WE MEAN BY IMPACT?
Joint statement on Impact by HEFCE, RCUK and UUK
Building on established research excellence, and on the infrastructure for knowledge exchange that has been developed over the last decade, we are committed to working together to continue embedding throughout the research base a culture in which excellent research departments consistently engage with business, the public sector and civil society organisations, and are committed to carrying new ideas through to beneficial outcomes, across the full range of their academic activity.
impact is defined as an effect on, change or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, health, the environment or quality of life, beyond academia
