With industry in its name, the School’s research is rooted in strong local, regional, national and international collaborations with diverse external partners, ensuring that the societal impact of our work is felt from the local to global.  

Quality research in PCI reflects the wide range of methods, approaches and topics within our School, strengthening our networks in collaborative, meaningful and ethical partnerships.  

We are proud of the deep relationships our researchers have forged with a broad range of non-academic partners in culture, environment, health and wellbeing, policymaking and business sectors, and we are committed to engaging with the challenging opportunities for tangible real-world change that these partners demand. 

We take a holistic approach to developing and supporting impact and engagement literacy, valuing positive change that arises from our research, student education and community activities.  

PCI hosts an informal, bi-annual sharing event, IM-PACKED LUNCH, for colleagues and guests to discover more about each other’s impactful work and hear examples of good practice and lessons learned.
