Horizon Impact
An important part of Horizon’s funding award was to demonstrate impact on academia, society and the economy.
Horizon research spanned multiple disciplines and crossed several sectors, including the Creative Industries, Energy, Healthcare, Manufacturing and Transport. The projects undertaken by researchers and CDT students were ‘in the wild’ and showed the demonstrable contribution that excellent research could make to academic advances in understanding, methods, theory and application as well as the contribution it made to society and the economy.
Economic and societal impacts embraced all the diverse ways in which research-related knowledge and skills benefit individuals, organisations and nations:
- fostering global economic performance, and specifically the economic competitiveness of the United Kingdom,
- increasing the effectiveness of public services and policy,
- And enhancing quality of life, health and creative output.
