Collaborative Research and Innovation

Let us realise your ambitions for business growth.

Gain Competitive Advantage through New Skills and Expertise

Our research is solution driven for business growth. Our award-winning Partnerships and Business Engagement Team will connect you quickly to the people who have the skills and knowledge you need to achieve your business goals.

Research Expertise

Our research is rated world leading according to the Research Excellence Framework, which assesses the quality and impact of research by UK universities. Our Partnerships and Business Engagement Team focuses on three areas of expertise to help organisations tap into our diverse skills set.

Mathematics and Statistics

The faculty also hosts one of the most industrially-engaged mathematics and statistics departments in the UK. The department has strong collaborative links with the medical research industry in the design of novel trials through the Medical and Pharmaceutical Statistics research unit and leads the delivery of the STORi Centre for Doctoral Training with approximately 30 industry co-sponsored PhD students. The department is also host to multiple industrially co-supported research projects and is always keen to develop further collaborative links.

Case Study: Yordas Group

"Yordas would not have been formed without the strategic support provided by LEC and would not be sustainable without the resources made available through locating on the campus. There are tremendous benefits from locating at the university in terms of the quality of people which we are able to work with, enabling us to utilise the specialist knowledge that the university can provide."
Jonathan Lutwyche, CEO of Yordas Group
