Generating economic and societal impact for the UK through digital technologies
Impact is how we quantify the benefits and outcomes of our work for UK industry, the economy and wider society. It can take various forms, such as new products and services, improved industry processes, knowledge sharing, skills development to new technology adoption, business growth, job creation or enhanced quality of life.
As part of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and UK Research and Innovation, we receive significant public funding to work collaboratively with industry. Evaluating our impact enables us to demonstrate the value we deliver to the UK and ensure that we are generating outcomes and benefits that matter.
Measuring and monitoring our impact also provides valuable insights that help us to shape our future and make continuous improvements to our strategy, processes and services, to better serve you: our industry and public sector partners, users and collaborators.

We explore how our partnerships and technical expertise have driven impact across the UK, placing digital innovation in the context of real-world applications. To start with, we are looking into how we have helped to reduce staff pressure, improve patient care and optimise drug discovery in the healthcare sector.
