WORKING WITH RESEARCHERS AT BIRKBECK

Birkbeck, University of London is a research-intensive university. Central to our mission is the aim of making available the results of research and the expertise acquired, through teaching, publication, partnerships with other organisations and the promotion of civic and public debate. 

It has always been part of Birkbeck's ambition that we sustain a research culture that makes a positive difference to society in important ways. This can range from offering artistic insights and critical commentaries on social and political events, to exploring the basic science underlying health and environmental problems. As such, Birkbeck supports the engagement of its researchers with social issues, to facilitate the development of applications of their research and to build constructive partnerships that allow research findings to be developed and used by others.
