Research Impact

Devonshire BuildingOur approach

We aim to be a globally significant research University that performs high quality research across a wide range of disciplines and locations.

We conduct our research activities with a resolute commitment to excellence and a concern for the needs of both local society and global issues. This combination of being globally ambitious and regionally rooted underpins Newcastle University’s vision for the future.

We strive for world-class academic excellence – but excellence with impact - so that our high-quality academic work is responsive to large-scale societal needs and demands.

This can best be achieved if knowledge creation is matched by innovation in the translation of knowledge into economic, social or cultural advancements. It is this ethos of excellence with impact that underpins our research and innovation portfolio and deeply informs our strategy.

The University actively seeks to take a collaborative approach to research by:

  • engaging directly with users of our research
  • seeking input from business and society

We believe that engaged research is far more likely to have meaningful outcomes and identifiable impacts.
