Open to
a world of
possibilities
The University of Edinburgh has been a
constant in our complex, fast-changing
world for more than 400 years. As the
world comes to terms with the lasting
effects of the Covid-19 pandemic,
society faces significant challenges.
As a leading global university, we’re
confident education will play a vital
role in solving those problems and
relish our shared responsibility to
respond to them.
It’s something our community has always done.
Together, we’ve expanded the depth of human
knowledge and improved the lives of ordinary people.
Research conducted here led to the discovery of
chloroform anaesthesia, the Higgs boson particle and
in-vitro fertilisation. Our academics, students and alumni
discovered carbon dioxide, led the Scottish
Enlightenment laying the foundations of contemporary
thought, developed a genetically engineered vaccine
against Hepatitis B, and identified the SARS Coronavirus.
We have long enjoyed a spirit of innovation and
collaboration and continue to do so today. We are
proudly open to everyone, bringing people with new
outlooks and perspectives together in an international
community that is establishing the data capital of
Europe, tackling climate change and paving the way for
new fertility treatments. Our scientists are seeking cures
for cancer, repurposing drugs to improve treatments for
the Covid-19 coronavirus and contributed to the global
search for a vaccine. Together, we are open to the world
today so we can influence the world tomorrow.
