Team Queen’s headed to Downing Street and Westminster to show UK Government officials just how much our work is making an impact across Northern Ireland and beyond.

As a leading research-intensive university and anchor institution in Northern Ireland, we play a vital role in supporting government objectives. We believe a strong Higher Education ecosystem is the foundation of a thriving economy, and we need continued investment in higher education to keep driving positive change. During our visit, we shone a spotlight on some of the key innovation projects we’re leading in health, advanced  manufacturing, cybersecurity, climate, and artificial intelligence – projects that are breaking new ground and creating real-world change.

Our Vice-President of Governance and External Affairs and Registrar, Dr Ryan Feeney, also addressed politicians and business leaders at the annual CHAMP event in the House of Lords, where he emphasised our 180-year legacy of driving progress through education, research, and public service.
