KMS Research with a
Community Impact Worldwide
Our Community Animation and Social
Innovation Centre (CASIC), led by
Professor Mihaela Kelemen, provides
a great example of internationally
leading research at Keele, contributing
positively and having a significant
impact on the communities we serve.
Professor Mark Ormerod,
Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, Keele University.
The impact of CASIC’s work has been felt from the
UK to Canada and Japan to Greece and Poland.
In everyday terms, their work has advanced knowledge
in volunteering, personal community, energy poverty and
energy use/reduction, sustainability, ageing, violence,
exclusion and communities in crisis. They have worked on
more than ten projects in the last four years funded by
the AHRC, EPSRC and ESRC.
