The latest Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) data show Science and Engineering South (SES) universities’ impact on academic research, society and the economy.

Researchers from Science and Engineering South (SES) universities are among this year’s recipients of the prestigious Philip Leverhulme Prizes, recognising exceptional academic talent and innovation across the UK.

The panel members for the criteria-setting phase of REF 2029 (Research Excellence Framework) were announced in September this year. SES representation across every Main Panel and Sub-panel highlights the outstanding research capability, diversity, and expertise of our universities

Universities and the ground-breaking research from their dedicated teams have long influenced the conversations and change connected to COP. Here are highlights from some of our members’ COP-related research and activities. 

More than a third of the impact generated by King’s College London’s knowledge exchange and research activities occurred outside the capital, a report by London Economics reveals.

Some 4,000 students will benefit from a £1bn investment in doctoral training centres for engineering and physical sciences, with SES members lead partners in almost a third of them.

Our partner universities are at the cutting edge of research. They constantly strive to create environments where new ideas can flourish, and innovation is second nature.

Spin-outs have the potential to redefine how research, patient care and product development is handled in the future. Find out about SES members’ spin-out activities.

Looking beyond SES members’ excellent performance in REF 2021 to their case studies reveals the positive impact their research is having. Here are some examples.

Six SES members to receive a share of a £60m investment, which supports the next generation of particle physicists.

Historically, universities have lacked guidance on how to make labs more sustainable. Now SES members are using the LEAF framework to build sustainability into day-to-day lab usage.
