MEASURES OF SUCCESS BY 2026

Increase research and enterprise income to £21m;

Within phase 1 of the campus masterplan deliver a new Acoustics building;

Increase the size of the PGR community in alignment to SGL areas and EAGLEs, and on-time completion rates to be sustained at a minimum of 75%;

Develop four research and enterprise focused strategic partnerships by 2026;

Building on our success in REF2021, achieve top 50 by Grade Point Average in the next REF (likely to be 2027); Increase representation within our next REF staff submission:

/ Increase the proportion of the submission comprising women to 48% to match the proportion of our academic staff overall who are female;

/ Increase the proportion of the submission comprising staff from a BAME background; / Further reduce the gap between eligible and submitted between men and women so that women are equally as likely to be included as their male colleagues (currently 12% gap);

Improve our performance in KEF within cluster E; particularly in relation to Public and Community Engagement.
