Why Platform One?

Life is full of possibilities, opportunities and challenges.

We all need support, new ways of thinking about things, people to explore ideas with, reassurance, alternative points of view or simply practical help and advice. Sometimes friends, family or colleagues can provide what we need, but sometimes they can't. Where do we go? Who do we look to?

Platform One emerged from conversations about the University of Edinburgh as a community. Not just a community of students who are here now, but the bigger picture that includes staff and alumni. This community is powerful in its breadth and diversity, but also familiar and relatable. We all share something.

What if we could provide a place where our community can gather together? A single online location where students, alumni and staff can support each other.

This place is Platform One.
