Social Charter

SOCIAL CHARTER 

Queen's University's Social Charter is a set of guidelines that reaffirms our commitment to engaging with society and celebrates the many ways our students and staff contribute to our place. The Social Charter shines a light on the significant contribution we can make and the positive impact we can have.


Our Social Charter is based on three core principles: 

1. Providing leadership locally and globally
2. Promoting a positive impact on society through our research and education
3. Equality and social justice

We will realise these core principles through:

Research with impact

Education with social purpose

Breaking boundaries to produce new knowledge

Civic culture and intercultural dialogue

Equality and excellence

Sustainability

Recognising and rewarding contributions from students and staff

THE CHARTER PODCAST

BROCHURE 

The original Social Charter Brochure was produced in 2017 and features 19 signature projects which were chosen to bring the Social Charter to life. While some of these projects have now finished, they encapsulate the breadth of the activity that Queen's students and staff carry out on a daily basis.
