Queen's University's Social Charter, launched in November 2017, shines a light on the significant contribution made by our students and staff and the positive impact we have on our society. Find out more through the links below.
The Charter reaffirms our commitment to engaging with society and celebrates the many ways our students and staff contribute to our place. Download the full booklet here:
At Queen’s we translate ideas, academic teaching, research and professional expertise into action, resulting in impact that serves society at home and across the world in life-changing ways.
Within the University’s Corporate Plan, the Social Charter provides the platform for demonstrating the innovation, discovery and creativity of our staff and students and the regional, national and global impact of their work.
We are committed to providing leadership locally and globally
We are committed to promoting a positive impact on society through our research and education
These principles will be realised by the way we promote: research with impact; education with social purpose; breaking boundaries to produce new knowledge; equality and excellence; civic culture and intercultural dialogue; sustainability; and by recognising and rewarding contributions from students and staff.
The University’s Corporate Plan acknowledged and celebrated the Social Charter through the identification of 19 Signature Projects.
The original 19 Social Charter Signature Projects featured encapsulated the breadth of activity that Queen’s students and staff carry out every day, as well as representing the principles and themes contained within the Charter.
