Build close connections

Sign up to the city’s 2050 Edinburgh City Vision which is underpinned by the following principles: Fair; Pioneering; Welcoming and Thriving.

Maintain our membership of the Edinburgh Partnership Board, and relevant Locality Community Planning Partnerships, so we can contribute positively to the future of the city.

Continue to regularly engage with elected representatives, community councils and neighbourhood groups as part of our ‘business as usual’, in order to build and maintain long-lasting relationships.

Continue to participate in, and support, local events in the communities in which we are based, from Doors Open Days to community-led events.

Alongside other community partners, we will take part in a review of our city’s and University’s historical links to slavery and colonialism and take measures to address these.

Continue to build on our role as a University of Sanctuary when working with members of the local community who have had to flee conflict and persecution in their countries of origin.
