Research and Enterprise
"Research at Goldsmiths brings together a unique range of disciplines in innovative ways. We are a member of the 1994 Group of the UK's leading research universities, and the latest national assessment exercise carried out in 2008 placed us in the top ten universities for the proportion of our research recognised to be 'world-leading'. The success of our staff and students is expertly supported by the Research and Enterprise Offices. Together they encourage pioneering research, and support entrepreneurship that engages with the commercial and public sectors, making sure that Goldsmiths research makes a difference."
— Professor Jane Powell, Pro-Warden for Research and Enterprise
