Researchers at the University of Sussex Business School have designed, led and completed the judging of a major global innovation challenge exploring one of science's toughest questions:

How do we identify genuinely novel research?

Working with partners, the Science Policy Research Unit created one of the largest datasets ever assembled on research novelty. Through this, AI systems designed to identify innovative research papers were tested.

The winning tool, LLM-Evaluated Novelty and Significance (LENS), developed by the team from Jülich Research Centre, Germany, was found to match expert assessments of novelty more closely than any other competing indicator.

The findings could help funders, publishers, and universities identify promising research earlier.

How do we foster classroom learning for real-world impact?

Students on our Management MSc programme recently worked on a live project for the University of Sussex Sustainability Team. This was part of their Business Analysis and Consulting module.

Working with a real client, they explored the potential for a Repair and Re-use Hub on campus, supporting Sussex's commitment to sustainability and reducing waste.

Acting as consultants, the students researched the idea, identified opportunities and challenges, and presented recommendations that will help shape the project's next steps.

Initiatives like this give our students the chance to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world business challenges while building skills in analysis, teamwork, and working with clients.

How does violent crime affect the people who live nearby, even when they are not direct victims?

New article co-authored by Richard Dickens and George MacKerron, economists at the University of Sussex Business School, found that people living near where a violent crime occurred had increased stress levels.

Using nearly 50,000 real-time wellbeing responses from residents in the Thames Valley region in England, the study provides new evidence of the wider impact of violent crime on the mental health of local communities.

The findings contribute to a growing understanding of the social costs of crime. It could help inform policies aimed at improving well-being and community safety.
