Research & innovation: engineering a better future for all of us

Engineering research in our universities is the engine of the government’s Industrial Strategy and it provides solutions to the most urgent challenges of our time: energy security, climate resilience, defence capability, public health, sustainable manufacturing and the transformation of our infrastructure.

In the process, through spin-outs and partnerships with industry and government, engineering research is creating jobs and prosperity in parts of the UK where other investment either does not reach or fails to establish sustainable growth.

The case studies collected here (to follow) demonstrate how British engineering research, in partnership with industry and government, delivers tangible benefits to people, communities and the country.
