The University receives support from HEFCE through the Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF) to support knowledge exchange activities.  The funding supports a wide range of activities, including funds available to Colleges, Departments and individuals supporting and aiding in the development of sustainable, long-term knowledge exchange activities and external relationships.

Knowledge exchange activity can generate relationships resulting in many benefits including funding for research and consultancy, and evidence for impact case studies.

£350,000 is now available to support activities promoting and developing knowledge exchange activities.  Funds are available on a competitive basis.
