The range of groups and audiences who benefit from our research outside of academia is huge and continually growing. Notable primary audiences includes: regional, national and international small and medium sized enterprises, see Innovation Hub and links with the Small Business Charter; public sector and state organisations; non-governmental organisations; third sector and social enterprise organisations; trade unions and professional associations; journalists; and the general public via our regular blog and media coverage.
