Over the last 10 years, the Nuffield Foundation website has received more than 57 million visits from more than 16 million users.
In 2017, our new strategy set out ambitious goals to grow the Foundation’s scale and influence. As a result, we refreshed our brand identity to be better aligned with our strategic goals and to pave the way for a more engaging and accessible digital presence.
Following this, we embarked on a website redevelopment project in 2019 with ambitions to:
- Raise the online profile of the Foundation among its audiences.
- Increase awareness about our funding opportunities and provide a more accessible path to application.
- Grow the impact of the research we fund.
- Present our work in a more visually engaging and accessible format.
An important part of the project has been consultation with our stakeholders, to ensure that the needs of our audiences are at the forefront of our website design and development.
We launched our new website on 16 December 2019.
What’s new?
- Fully responsive, mobile-first design that works across all devices.
- Digital application of our new brand identity.
- Improved navigation and sophisticated search functionality so users can find and browse content more easily.
- Eligibility tools for both research funding and Nuffield Research Placement applicants.
- A new impact section to tell a richer story about the impact of our work on society.
This month, we are pleased to launch some additional tools to help users stay up to date with their selected projects and areas of interest.
