Business Engagement Forum

Meetings regularly cover the University’s business engagement and knowledge exchange activities, including relevant activities related to business development, research, student placements and CPD.

Specifically the BEF encourages collaboration and ensures efficiency of processes with a view to increasing the quantity and impact of the business engagement activity.

The BEF aims to:

• Share information about business contacts among all the main groups in the University who have a remit that involves interfacing with business and commerce
• Identify good practice for engaging with businesses and share this information among the members in the University with this remit
