Community Engagement

We work to support social impact, share knowledge and experience, build close connections, provide services to our communities and open our estate.

Why is community engagement important?

The University is located across the Scottish capital and has a rich history in the city.

Our community makes us who we are, these include:

  • staff, students and visitors
  • events
  • partnerships with the City of Edinburgh Council and City Region Deal

Our initiatives

Our Community Plan 2020-2025 sets out 32 practical commitments the University of Edinburgh is making to our local communities.
