What makes the University of Bath distinctive?<\/p>\n

One of the most cherished things about our University is our sense of community, our networks \u2013 our \u2018connectedness\u2019.<\/p>\n

In terms of the world-leading research we conduct here at Bath, this means that it is often interdisciplinary in nature and done in partnership with academic colleagues around the world. And, that in striving to solve real-world problems, we often do so in lockstep with industry, business, government and civil society.<\/p>\n

This connectedness is in our DNA; our close association with industry and commerce written into our founding Royal Charter and highlighted in our strategy, Our University, Our Future: Connected<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We believe that this approach leads to research with more impact.<\/p>\n

Which is why I\u2019m delighted to share with you today our new Research with Impact initiative, which explores some of the ways we are helping to create a healthier, more sustainable and more connected future for us all.<\/p>\n

In this update, you can take a deep dive into long reads about our sustainability, health & wellbeing and digital research; listen to our new podcast \u2018How can we get to net zero?\u2019; and watch our innovative video<\/a>, which takes a creative look at the issues that matter and how we are tackling them.<\/p>\n

In my many conversations with our valued alumni community, friends and supporters since I became Vice-Chancellor, I\u2019ve heard so many of you express the desire to hear in more depth about our research. I hope this gives you a real flavour of some of our current work, and you can sign up for research updates<\/a>, or look out for more information on our webpages<\/a>\u00a0and social media accounts over the months to come.<\/p>\n

With warm good wishes,<\/p>\n
