Research and knowledge exchange at GCU Sample Clauses

Research and knowledge exchange at GCU. The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) ranked our research in allied health in the top 10 universities in the UK, with our work in rehabilitation sciences ranked top in the UK. Our research in construction and the built environment was rated best in Scotland and in the top 20 in the UK. As part of our drive to build on our strengths for REF 2014 and to ensure we are well placed to respond to a range of knowledge exchange opportunities including collaborative R&D funding, contract research and commercial consultancy projects, the University has invested strategically in three cross‐disciplinary Research Institutes: Institute for Applied Health Research, Institute for Society and Social Justice Research, Institute of Sustainable Engineering and Technology. The Institutes bring together the research excellence of individuals and groups across the University to consolidate our success in attracting major grants, further develop collaborations, and work with end‐users in the public and private sectors. The Institutes work in areas of increasing importance to Scotland such as ageing and the management of long‐term health conditions, carbon management and sustainability, inequalities in health, poverty, and violence. Examples of cross‐disciplinary projects include:  Researchers from the Institutes for Applied Health Research and Society and Social Justice are involved in a £1.5M MRC project on promoting physical independence by involving users in rehabilitation through dynamic visualisations of movement data.  GCU is leading a €5.3M project, A‐Footprint, to develop novel orthoses for patients with lower limb disorders. This FP7 project, a collaboration of 12 partners across seven EU Member states, is led by the Institute of Applied Health Research and involves expertise from colleagues in engineering.  Researchers from our eMotion Laboratory secured funding from the Scottish Centre for Telehealth and Telecare, (part of NHS 24), for an assistive technology project on supporting young carers. The project also involves social work colleagues from the Institute of Applied Health Research who have introduced both Carers Scotland and Princess Royal Trust for Carers into the project team. In 2012‐13, the University will develop a new Research and Knowledge Exchange Strategy, which will set out our ambitious plans to grow activity and income as we strive to enhance our research and knowledge exchange, delivering for business, the public and voluntary sectors in S...
