Our Community Plan

The University of Edinburgh has always been closely
intertwined with the City of Edinburgh and its
local communities.

Progress we have made as a University in the fourth year of the Community Plan, from the period November 2023 until October 2024.

We have worked with the community to come up with 32 commitments that we promise to deliver on over the next four years. 

We have made great progress in the few years since
our initial Community Engagement Strategy was
approved in 2016, but we know we need to go further
and redouble our efforts to ensure the University
is integrated into the city and its communities.

Whether you are a student, member of staff, community member or community organisation, there are ways for everyone to get involved.

Here are a selection of community case studies that the University is proud to be involved in.

The University is committed to carrying out the
actions of this plan between 2020 and 2025 and,
as a University plan, it will require the whole
institution to live up to these commitments.
