The Public Affairs portfolio includes:

• • Influencing the political and policy agenda in line with institutional priorities
  • Monitoring of legislative developments
  • Positioning Queen’s as a partner for government across these islands
  • Supporting academics to showcase Queen’s world-leading research across the university’s three faculties.
  • Coordinating political visits to campus
  • Responding to Assembly Questions and enquiries
  • Representing the University in various external forums, committees and events

Public Affairs also acts as a point of contact for politicians and officials seeking to engage with the University, and as a first port of call for staff across Queen’s looking for support and advice in engaging with elected representatives and government officials.

The team also work closely with colleagues across Governance and External Affairs in delivering the University’s external activities.
