Projects to increase biodiversity and improve adaptation to climate change resulted in the University winning a "Campus of the Future" Award at the annual Green Gown Awards.

The Department for Social Responsibility and Sustainability provides high quality support and advice and facilitates programmes to catalyse action and collaboration.

From installing a solar farm to investing in 41 community projects, the University did some amazing things in 2019-20 to become more socially responsible and sustainable.

We are delighted to announce the student-led projects that will be receiving support this year.

In 2015 we started sharing our quarterly update to keep our student, staff and wider community informed about what we were up to, our highlights and lessons learned. As we set out our new SRS Department programme plans it is a tradition we want to continue and, as always, would welcome your thoughts and suggestions on things you would like to hear about.
