The Glasgow institution picked up the coveted title at a ceremony held in London yesterday evening attended by more than 1,000 staff from universities and colleges across the UK.

Judges in the awards were impressed with how Strathclyde’s dedication to working with industry had taken shape over the past year with a series of groundbreaking initiatives.

Its "transformational year" saw the technological institution invest almost ?90 million in a Technology and Innovation Centre to unite academia and industry.

The university also established the UK's first Fraunhofer Institute – Europe's largest research contract organisation – through the creation of a Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics.

As well as doubling its research income from business and industry to ?6.2 million, Strathclyde was also selected as the exclusive European partner for South Korea's global research and commercialisation programme.

John Gill, editor of 成人VR视频, said the institution's focus on "really meaningful" partnerships with industry "had come together in an impressive way in the past 12 months, and the judges were clear that it was a worthy winner".

Other winners at the ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane included John Goddard, emeritus professor of regional development studies at Newcastle University, who won the Lord Dearing Lifetime Achievement Award; and Mark Brandon, senior lecturer in environmental science at the Open University, who was named Most Innovative Teacher of the Year.

The award for Outstanding Contribution to the Local Community went to the British School of Osteopathy; the University of Westminster was named as organising the International Collaboration of the Year; and Northumbria University picked up the title for Excellence and Innovation in the Arts.
