Impact

Forming strong, strategic relationships and sharing our ideas with industry is fundamental to our success. Over the past decade, CEF has forged close relationships with >100 global companies across our programmes. We are always open to new and thought-provoking collaborations where a combination of expertise may be mutually beneficial and inspire new innovations in products and applications.

Our staff are experienced in communicating ideas and practices across a wide range of audiences, including government (e.g. participating at round-tables with ministers, DSIT), policy making bodies/societies (RAEng, Royal Society), funding agencies and the public. We have a track-record in creating evidence-based reports and briefings for funders, researchers, investors, public, government, as well as contributing to shaping national strategies and policy papers.

We believe it’s important to give back to the community and we enjoy creating targeted activities to engage children both at our premises and by visiting schools. By working closely with teaching staff, we are able to focus that support specifically where it is needed through our dedicated outreach programmes. We deliver our activities externally in both schools and colleges.

We are always happy to share in each other’s successes, whether this be through invited talks, best paper awards or our excellence in teaching.
