Community and Regional Engagement

As part of the University of Aberdeen's 20 year strategy, Aberdeen 2040, the University is committed to listening to and working with local and regional stakeholder communities to build partnerships for the benefit of the region. We are working to strengthen our community and regional engagement activities and some of our recent and ongoing initiatives include:

• our commitment to develop a Civic University Agreement
• the appointment in 2021 of a Vice Principal for Regional Engagement and Regional Recovery, tasked with the responsibility of developing and implementing a strategy for the University to make a comprehensive and effective contribution to the economic, social and cultural activity of the region
• the delivery of a Local Community Fund in 2021/22
• our commitment to become a University of Sanctuary
• the launch of Civic News, our external stakeholder newsletter

The Team support colleagues to work in partnership to harness and share institutional knowledge, resources, events and campus facilities to make a positive difference across the region.
