Collaboration is key to our work, creating opportunities for researchers, artists and creative professionals to play, explore and innovate.  

As a key driver of the Cultural Engagement Strategy, we build meaningful connections within the University and across the wider community, mobilising the power of culture and creativity to drive positive change.
