As a global University and proudly part of North East England, Durham University are working with partners to improve life chances and promote prosperity, locally and nationally. As we begin a new academic year, here are some of the ways we’re making a positive impact in our communities: economically, socially and culturally.
We work with staff and students to support enterprise and business start-ups – many new companies have been formed from innovative academic research or great student business ideas.
Often these companies are based in North East England, creating jobs and boosting the local economy.
Earlier this year we were named on Research England’s Initial List of Adopting Institutions for spin-out best practices. This recognised our commitment to ensuring that our research programmes make a direct and substantial impact on the region’s economy.
