LILI is the University of Lincoln's Strategic Unit for Impact

The University of Lincoln is committed not only to purposeful research, but also to driving critical understanding of how research leads to impact. Within a sector so often dominated by impact-as-assessment, LILI focuses on impact literacy and rebalancing discussions about how to embed impact into institutional practice. This includes informing and disrupting traditional paradigms, developing critical discourse, and strengthening impact provision, culture and sustainability across the sector.
