Lincoln minisite

At the University of Lincoln, our academic teams are involved in research at the leading edge of their disciplines, from developing new antibiotics and more effective cancer treatments, to tackling the digital divide and preserving historical artefacts. This research is changing the world and is recognised nationally and internationally.

The quality and breadth of our research was highlighted in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment in 2014, where more than half of our submitted research was rated as internationally excellent or world leading, and where two of our subject centres were rated in the top 10 of all institutions in the UK for the quality of their research outputs. The national REF is a vital method of assessing the quality of research at British higher education institutions. With around £2 billion worth of funding awarded to UK universities each year by the major research councils, the REF is a key indicator of where funding is focused to maintain an internationally competitive research sector which makes a major contribution to the global economy, wellbeing, and expansion of knowledge.
