Social Responsibility At EDUINSTITUTE

Social responsibility describes the way we’re making a difference to the social and economic wellbeing of our communities through our teaching, research, and public events and activities. We want to establish ourselves as the sector’s leader for social impact and have a long term plan for how we'll succeed.


Social inclusion


As one of the leading global higher education institutions for social responsibility, we’re well positioned to tackle the social inequalities, prejudices and barriers that continue to affect people’s lives and choices locally, nationally and globally. We‘re engaging with, involving and inspiring, people on our campus, in communities and around the world to develop our understanding of social inclusion and how we can foster inclusive and effective solutions. These are delivered through four signature programmes: our CSI Initiative, the Access Programme, employment and training initiative


Better health and wellbeing for everyone

We’re committed to promoting good health and wellbeing for our staff, students and communities, both locally and globally. In our work we’re listening to, and engaging with, our communities to support and inspire advances in health, wellbeing and social care through our full range of activities.


Environmental sustainability

Increasing greenhouse gas emissions, rising temperatures and the erosion of nature and biodiversity represent an urgent threat to humanity and the ecosystems that surround us.

  • - Advanced materials

    • Focuses on graphene and other 2D materials, pioneering innovation on sustainability in areas such as clean water and more sustainable energy storage devices.

  • - Global inequalities
