Impact

The LWEC Partnership's Impact Strategy Link to external site is available on the LWEC website. LWEC defines impact as:

The demonstrable contribution that excellent research, technology and innovation, make to society, the economy and environment. Economic, environmental and societal impacts embrace all the extremely diverse ways in which research-related knowledge and skills benefit individuals, organisations and nations by:

  • fostering global economic performance, and specifically the economic competitiveness of the United Kingdom.
  • increasing the effectiveness of public services and policy, enhancing quality of life, health and creative output.
  • enhancing the quality of the environment.

LWEC Impact Case Studies Link to external site are available on the LWEC website. Other examples will be added when they become available.
