We are delighted to announce a very special new partnership with Historic Royal Palaces at #Hillsborough Castle, that places societal impact at its heart.

The partnership, which spans several areas, including collaborative research, student placements, and joint programming, will build on our existing relationship.

A signing ceremony to mark the partnership took place during a special event held at Hillsborough Castle with leading political and business leaders in attendance, including special guest Chancellor Emeritus #SenatorMitchell.

“Queen’s University values the importance of partnership work and collaboration to drive positive change. We have enjoyed a strong working relationship with Hillsborough Castle, and we are delighted to formalise our commitment to pursue joint outcomes in areas including collaborative research; cultural promotion and exchange; as well as building deep dialogues that support societal change."
