Community engagement

We work with our local community to promote sustainability on a local, national, and global level. A variety of community activities and events are available to members of the public, including local green space projects, community days and work with businesses and schools. This provision includes free educational activities open to everyone with topics aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals. The Institute for Sustainability works with local community groups and businesses via its Innovation Hub to help solve sustainability challenges.

The University's Partnerships and Reputation Policy sets out how the University addresses its community involvement.
