Impact in action

We've seen our research influence policy change, improve business tools in the tourism and hospitality industries and influence professional standards, guidelines and training. We pride ourselves in designing and delivering research which impacts on culture and society, economy, commerce and organisations, practitioner and professional services, the environment, health and welfare, public policy, law and services, and the food sector.

Our mission

We share the University of Surrey’s mission to drive positive technological, economic, social and environmental change in a world facing increasing challenges. We actively contribute to industry, commerce, government and civil society, and are committed to playing our part in solving society’s grand challenges.

Our contribution to the University’s research vision for impact is realised through knowledge exchange activities, and by making new connections and building upon established relationships with established partners to make real and noticeable changes in society.

Who uses our research

We've built up long-term partnerships and collaborations with hugely influential organisations. We work with and for a number of organisations and the main end users of our research outcomes are industry, government bodies and various NGOs and Commissions falling largely within the tourism, hospitality and event sectors. We are committed to increase continuously the number and scope of such beneficiaries.

We have a range of external partners that we engage with on a regular basis through research, teaching, industry engagement and dissemination.

Building our impact

Our impact strategy focuses on embedding a culture of long-term impact in academic thinking and producing high quality impact. We work closely with our partners, collaborators, advisory board, and SBS Enterprise to deliver this.
