Strategy 2030
Vision
Our graduates, and the knowledge we discover with our partners, make the world a better place
Purpose
As a world-leading research-intensive University, we are here to address tomorrow’s greatest challenges. Between now and 2030, we will do that with a values-led approach to teaching, research and innovation and through the strength of our local and global relationships.
Strategy 2030 focuses on four key areas, each shaped by our values:
- People
- Research
- Teaching and Learning
- Social and Civic Responsibility
Continually Adapting
The world is faced with various significant and complex challenges, from rising inequality and the mass displacement of people to climate change and the emergence of artificial intelligence.
The University of Edinburgh has a long tradition of challenging established ways of thinking and reflecting on what needs to change (and what does not) as we move forward as a society.
To respond to these challenges and do justice to future generations, The University needs to adapt and work in new ways.
They have challenged themselves to work in new partnerships with local authorities, third sector, and business, both nationally and internationally.
With more than 400 years of excellence behind them, their drive to continually evolve and find new approaches to the world's challenges will ensure the next 400 years even better.
