The results for this year’s Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) have been published today and I’m delighted to report that Queen Mary remains a strong performer across a range of different areas.
‘Knowledge exchange’ refers to the wide range of activities universities undertake with partners - for example businesses, charities and community groups - for the benefit of the economy and society.
For the second year running, Queen Mary was placed in the top category - Very High Engagement - for Research partnerships, Public and Community Engagement, and IP and Commercialisation. We also ranked in the second highest category for Working with the Public and Third Sector.
Our performance reflects our commitment to and strength in sharing knowledge, ideas and experience to benefit both the economy and society. The results also reflect our longstanding strengths, such as excellence in public engagement, along with our ambition to be the most inclusive research-intensive University in the world, in line with our Strategy 2030.
For more information on KEF and our latest results, please read our news story and visit our dedicated KEF webpages.
Our strong results are a testament to the hard work of colleagues across Queen Mary and of those we partner with. I thank you all for your continued dedication and I look forward to us building on this success.
