Together we will work
for a brighter future.

Commitments

• Through our interdisciplinary research institutes, networks, centres, departments and partnerships, we will work across teams and disciplines to make new discoveries and tackle societal challenges on a local, national and global level. We will build, support, enable and promote this way of working.
• We will create transformational relationships with external partners to ensure that our research is translated for public good and economic prosperity.
• Our research excellence will be underpinned and enhanced by an open, ethical and supportive research culture and environment.

Strategic priorities

• We will create the Exeter Futures initiative to support bold, new research ideas, working across disciplines and with our partners to address societal challenges. Each year, we will support a number of new research ideas from the community and provide the resources and time for teams to pursue ambitious new avenues of research.
• We will develop a sustainable research model for the future and support our researchers to grow and diversify income sources from business, governments and other external funding bodies.
• We will redesign our campuses to ensure that we have the space for co-creation, innovation and partnership.
• We will launch a series of research networks that enhance and support our disciplinary and interdisciplinary strengths.
