  • Rising to Real World Challenges – from the Lab to Changing Lives
    The Universities of the West Midlands. Rising to real world challenges – from the lab to changing lives. 1 Rising to real world challenges – from the lab to changing lives How the Universities of the West Midlands are coming together to realise the grand challenges facing the UK and the world Introduction Universities are economic engines contributing £2.9 billion GVA to the West Midlands and creating 55,000 jobs (directly and indirectly) across all skills levels. While many are recognised for their impact in talent and innovation generated through teaching and research, it can be difficult to understand the link between the work happening in their institutions and how it will affect everyday lives. The Universities of the West Midlands – Aston University, Birmingham City University, Coventry University, University of Birmingham, University of Warwick and the University of Wolverhampton – have come together to demonstrate how they are making their mark by rising to the grand challenges set out by the Government. Addressing these challenges will improve people’s lives and influence productivity. The Universities are providing life-changing solutions to make us healthier, wealthier and more productive. Their research and development reaches far beyond the laboratory and lecture theatre, creating real-world solutions to the grand challenges. Each university makes a unique contribution to specialist sectors within the West Midlands’ economy. It is their collective strength that makes the region distinctive in its ability to accelerate business growth and innovation. 2 The West Midlands Local Industrial Strategy Building on the strengths and research specialisms of its universities, the West Midlands is set to unveil a trailblazing Local Industrial Strategy.
