¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

Last night, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº welcomed guests from organisations across London to an event in Mansion House.

It was an opportunity for staff and students to showcase the range of work across the city and highlight the opportunities available to public and private organisations to engage with ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº. The event was hosted by Lord Tom McNally (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Economics 1966) and featured presentations by Nadhim Zahawi, co-founder of YouGov and a ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº alumnus (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Chemical Engineering 1985) and Professor Gloria Laycock from the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Jill Dando Institute for Crime Science. It was also an opportunity for ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº to mark the conferment of a ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Fellowship on The Rt Hon the Lord Mayor Alderman Ian Luder, a ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº alumnus (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Economics 1971).

Visitors at the event had the opportunity to watch short videos exploring ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's impact in London in four areas - community, health, research and enterprise, with stories of staff and students from across the university. These are now available to watch on ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's You Tube channel,

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº in London
¹û¶³Ó°Ôº has a tremendous impact on London - we are London's leading research university. Through enterprise, community projects, public events, advising public bodies and taking research out to people across the city, staff and students from across ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº enhance the lives of Londoners every day. Our role is being further integrated into the fabric of London through a number of high profile developments and collaborations - for example, our sponsoring of a new Academy School in Camden and as one of the partners in the UK Centre for Medical Research and Innovation at St Pancras, probably the most exciting advancement in scientific research the capital has seen.
