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. The global society faces
significant challenges but we’re
confident education will play a vital
role solving those problems and we
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 contributing to the global search for a vaccine.
Together, we are open to the world today so we
can influence the world tomorrow.
