Impact Case Studies

The University's Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAA)* enable our researchers to ensure their work has real benefit to society, industry and the economy. Below are just a few examples of how our work is making a difference locally, nationally and internationally.

*The IAAs are funded by United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI), through its Research Councils.
