📍@QUBelfast at 180 years old and how we solve current and future challenges

[Queen's University Belfast 🎓 @QUBelfast]

Not your average day at the office!

Today we visited Stormont Parliament Buildings to showcase the impact our work is having across #NorthernIreland and beyond to Executive Ministers, MLAs and policymakers.

They had the chance to talk to our academics and staff who are making a real difference every day, whether that be through world-leading #Research and #Innovation, or life-changing work in the community.

This was the first of a year-long programme of events to celebrate our 180th year, and highlighted the important role we play in supporting the government’s objectives and creating real-world change.

“For nearly two centuries, our work has had a huge impact on real lives, and government priorities, every single day.

“We continue to nurture the minds of game-changers. There are researchers at Queen's considering how technological advancements can both assist in, and pose a risk to, the @niexecutive's commitment to Ending Violence Against Women and Girls; researchers looking at transforming #Healthcare delivery through new techniques and #PrecisionMedicine which can aid #WaitingList reduction, and countless other research teams and institutional initiatives linked to government priorities across #EconomicGrowth, #Education, #ClimateAction, and global peace and security.” (Professor Sir Ian Greer, @QUBVChancellor)

What’s one global sustainability issue you’d like to see world-leaders discuss?

Key international political and corporate leaders are coming to Queen’s next week to discuss global sustainability and economic inclusion. Here are some of the topics they’ll be discussing – and what they mean 🧵

[Matthew Jackson @mjackson_611]

It's a short mandate and MLAs will be able to submit their Private Members' Bills in the coming weeks. See our explainer on PMBs below and get in touch if you want support the passage of a Bill or have a proposal for legislative change

[Connect Belfast @ConnectBelfast]

Speaks to the point that wherever you go in the world you’re almost certain to bump into someone from Fermanagh or with Fermanagh roots.

[JPCampbellBiz @JP_Biz]

Fermanagh’s population almost 60% smaller than it was in the mid-19th century.
