Research and innovation are central to King’s College London’s vision to make the world a better place. The Vice President (Research & Innovation) portfolio and the Research Management & Innovation Directorate work in partnership to develop our research and innovation agenda, providing an optimal environment for our staff and doctoral students. This work is supported by King’s Strategy 2030, which reinforces the university’s commitment to strengthening academic excellence, driving impact, and fostering an environment where research and innovation can thrive.

We work in collaboration with academic and professional staff across our Faculties and central Directorates to enable impactful research and innovation. Areas of focus include research and innovation strategy and delivery, partnerships, talent development, research sustainability, research infrastructure, responsible research practices and governance, research funding, research performance, reporting and systems.

We are dedicated to enabling a positive research culture that emphasises not just the outcomes but the journey of research and innovation, within an environment where all staff and doctoral students can flourish.
