Research & Innovation, Making a Difference
Research is at the heart of the University of Lincoln and our staff and students are an integral part of our research community. Research shapes and inspires our academic structure, it forms the content of our teaching and learning, it underpins our partnerships and relations around the world.
Our students, more than ever, should be prepared to develop the critical thinking skills integral to underpinning a research discipline. The University of Lincoln prepares them for this by engaging them in our research agenda, Student as Producer.
Research is not only crucial in underpinning the teaching and enterprise agendas of the University, it is vital to the economic success and social fabric of society.
First New School of Engineering in the UK for 20 Years
In collaboration with Siemens, the University of Lincoln has just created the first purpose-built School of Engineering in the UK for more than 20 years. The new School is already attracting funding and receiving accolades for its research outputs. Professor Paul Stewart, the Founding Head of the School, has recently been appointed Pro Vice Chancellor for Research.
The collaboration between the University of Lincoln and Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd has been commended by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). It was one of only five projects shortlisted for the Team award at their recent Innovation Awards which celebrated the products, technologies and processes that lead the way in engineering innovation.
The Engineering School’s development is funded by the European Regional Development Fund, East Midlands Development Agency, Higher Education Funding Council for England, Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd, Lincolnshire County Council and the University.
“The School of Engineering at the University of Lincoln is a prime example of the way in which directed strategic funding has brought tangible and sustainable benefits to the education sector, industry and the wider community. The relationship with Siemens is a unique collaboration to produce industry-ready graduates, who are well prepared to make an immediate impact when they enter the world of work.” - Professor Paul Stewart, Founding Head of Lincoln School of Engineering.
