Research at Edinburgh Napier University is creating high-quality knowledge that benefits the social, cultural and economic life of the society we serve. Simply put, we aim to deliver outward-looking research that can transform communities – whether that is the rollout of a national telemonitoring service to lower blood pressure, saving mangrove forests in Kenya or establishing the world’s first innovation centre for mountain biking.
In the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 assessment of every UK university, over two-thirds of all our Edinburgh Napier University research was judged to be either ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, providing the best possible confirmation that Edinburgh Napier delivers excellent research with substantial real impact, nationally and internationally.
