Page 3 - Imperial College - Science for Humanity

Since our founding in 1907, Imperial has
sought to be not only a world-leading university,
but a world-changing one. We have combined
our tremendous strength in science, engineering,
medicine and business (STEMB) with scientific
discovery, innovation and entrepreneurship,
to create real-world impact.

Every day our students, staff and partners come
together to interrogate the forces that shape our
world. We do it so we can use that understanding
to tackle the biggest challenges facing humanity
and shape a better future. Sometimes, and this is
one of those times, this means interrogating the
forces that shape the future of our own university.
That is why, one year ago, we came together to
ask ourselves a question: “How do we maximise
our potential as a force for good in the world?”

This document addresses that question;
an actionable plan that unlocks more of the power
of science to serve humanity. This is how we shape
the future – for our students, our community,
our planet and everyone who calls it home.

The strategy reflects the purpose and priorities
of our staff, students and global Imperial community.
It is the result of an engaging and inspiring
consultation both within and outside Imperial.
We thank everyone who contributed their big
ideas and bold ambition to this process.

I hope you will be as inspired as I am by what we
have achieved so far and all we will achieve together.

President Hugh Brady
