Our work on measuring UCL's impact in London.
Deltapoll research
In spring 2022 the London Office commissioned Deltapoll to undertake qualitative and quantitative in-depth interviews with core partners in London, as well as with Londoners themselves, to understand perceptions of UCL in London.
Core themes of the research included:
- How stakeholders understand the university and what it offers to individuals, organisations and the community;
- What impact does UCL have in and around London;
- Awareness and understanding of UCL in London to Londoners.

Elsevier study
In 2024 University College London contacted Elsevier to ask for support in the provision of an analytical report assessing the research and innovation performance of London's Knowledge Quarter (KQ).
Key highlights:
- KQ and UCL recorded very strong performances in collaborative, research culture and impact dimensions.
- KQ and UCL frequently took the top ranking for collaboration with NGOs, with lower-middle income countries, and intra-district collaboration.
- In terms of research culture, KQ and UCL ranked first for OA availability of their publications, thematic relevance to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), gender equality in publication authorship, and quality of the mentorship of early-career researchers.
- Finally, UCL and KQ also frequently ranked at the top for the specific dimensions of policy-related impacts and health impacts investigated.
