emua groups
EMUA comprises a Steering Group, composed of Vice Chancellors and Principals of our 10 member institutions. This group drives policy and strategy, and oversees the work of three Strategic Groups: Research, Employer Engagement and Innovation and Knowledge Transfer. EMUA is also linked with a number of Special Interest Groups.

Innovation Knowledge Transfer Strategy group
The broad aim of the EMUA IKT group is to increase the range and cohesiveness of the Knowledge Transfer activity across the region. Successful collaborations have been a feature of the IKT group since its inception. This year the group initiated a number of collaborative projects, notably the East Midlands Knowledge Network (EMKN), and Enterprise Inc.
Research Strategy Group
