Engagement with North America
"The University of Edinburgh has long-standing historic links to North America. As early as 1776, approximately 10% of the students at the University came from the region. In research terms, North America remains the most important international region for Edinburgh academics and we have been developing our collaborative activity with strategic partners accordingly. We aim to build sustainable, equitable and transformative partnerships with key strategic partners. We look forward to our continuing relationships with North American universities, industry, government, prospective students, grant-making agencies, trusts and philanthropists."
Professor Frank Cogliano, International Dean, North America
