Innovation

Research and innovation activities are a key component of our departmental activities and involve the transfer of our knowledge and expertise into the commercial world.

Innovation is a key part of the Loughborough experience, and the opportunities available across campus bring benefits to all that are associated with Loughborough.

Within the Department of Computer Sciences we have four key areas of focus for innovation:

  • Student opportunities: Extra-curricular activities offer students the opportunity to enhance their skills and learning and improve their employability.
  • Working with industry: Organisations can partner us through student and graduate recruitment, consultancy, collaborative research, licensing, and premises on the University’s Science and Enterprise Parks.
  • Research with impact: The partnerships we build through enterprise strengthen our research and ensure that it has a route to impact for social, cultural or economic benefit.
