Academic institutions and research bodies

Academic institutions, research bodies, faculty leaders and academics need a software partner that can build solutions which help demonstrate impact, reduce workloads, improve efficiencies and influence decision making that improves people’s lives.

A range of pressures

UK academics and researchers are facing a significant challenges in research funding and demanding research output expectations from their academic institutions, expecting them to do more with less.

Academics and researchers are also under intense pressure from REF and other bodies to demonstrate impact.

Other challenges include:

Technological innovation

The rapid pace of technological change is creating new opportunities and challenges for academic institutions. UK institutions must adapt to new technologies and digital platforms to stay relevant and competitive.

Competition

UK academic institutions face intense competition from universities and research institutions around the world, which puts pressure on them to maintain high standards and attract the best students and faculty.

Student mental health

There has been a significant increase in the number of students experiencing mental health issues in recent years. Academic institutions are struggling to provide adequate support and resources to address this issue.

Academic workload

Academics are facing increasing demands on their time and resources, including teaching, research, administrative duties, and public engagement. This can lead to burnout and a lack of work-life balance.

    Software solutions for human-focused issues

    Data management and research-focussed software can help faculty and researchers alike save time, make better decisions and create impactful research outcomes by organising, securely storing and analysing the massive amounts of information they generate, and streamlining their research work.

    Bespoke platforms based on their specific needs enable research teams to collaborate more effectively, regardless of location, providing the tools for joined-up working, modern digital engagement with research participants, and effective oversight of their work.

    Software can also help manage their research projects, including funding and grant management, research workflows and compliance management.

    Whatever the solution – an online platform for raising awareness of research, a tool for helping improve campus work-life balance or a means of connecting researchers with influential decisionmakers – it’s vital that it is co-designed by the people using it on a daily or regular basis to create human-focused long-term change.
