University Assembly

University Assembly logoHow Can the University Respond to International Conflict

Wednesday 4 December 2024
King Pavilion

The University supports and promotes the right of all members of our community to have a voice. 

Building on recent discussions in Senate around conflict issues and the encampment on Elphinstone Lawn, we wish to create an Assembly for input and guidance from our students and staff on challenging Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) issues facing the University and our community.

Assembly models have been successfully used in Ireland and within the Climate policy arena, addressing topics with highly diverse opinions and informing public policy.

The process will mix expert presentations with independently facilitated discussion providing opportunities to share relevant concerns, issues and recommend potential solutions. 

Further information on how to register an interest in attending will be published here in early October.

Delegates will be selected from those registering using a stratified random selection process to ensure that the Assembly is broadly reflective of our University community and provides real insight into shared views and priorities.
