Research, impact and knowledge exchange

Strategic aims: 

  1. To secure and extend the University of Glasgow’s reputation and influence as a world-leading centre for innovative, creative, engaged and richly informed Arts and Humanities research, impact and knowledge exchange.
  2. To deploy our resources effectively to enhance the quality, value and reach of our research, impact and knowledge exchange activity (outputs, impact, environment, external awards and reputation) across all career stages and every subject area including in practice research, professional and collections-based fields.
  3. To create and sustain the conditions in which Arts & Humanities leadership of externally funded, challenge-facing team research can flourish, including in complex cross-disciplinary projects and with external (industry, civic or global) partners.
  4. To build and embed a strong and diverse platform for impact, innovation, consultancy and commercialisation and to evidence how Arts & Humanities research and scholarship enhances understanding and contributes to the common good.
  5. To improve our capture of FEC and major awards consistently across all areas of the College and to further develop industry, consultancy and philanthropic opportunities.
