4 Shaping the Future
Future introduction
Shaping the Vice-Chancellor’s
I am delighted to be introducing, Shaping the Future, which showcases the exciting and valuable research taking place at our University.
Through their research, UK universities are contributing more than ever to future economic growth and to positive changes in the way we all live, work and learn. At the University of Hertfordshire we are proud to play a significant role in these developments.
We have long been recognised internationally for original, high- quality research, with applied research being a particular strength. Today, our research community is committed to finding inspiring and sustainable solutions to fundamental social, economic and environmental problems. Climate change, energy, engineering, healthcare, science and technology are just some of the areas where we are breaking new ground for the benefit of people in our own country and across the globe.
In moving forward this ambitious agenda we engage with other academic institutions, business and industry, public and third sector organisations, and not least with user communities. Our research culture, which is defined by a strong spirit of enquiry, innovation and enterprise, also feeds into teaching and learning to enrich our students’ experience.
Shaping the Future celebrates the diversity of our research. More importantly, it provides insight into how our University is making a tangible difference in society through our business-like approach to generating ideas, and sharing our knowledge and expertise.
