Located in the heart of London, Imperial is a multidisciplinary space for education, research, translation and commercialisation, harnessing science and innovation to tackle global challenges. Mission and Strategy Unprecedented challenge abounds in 2020 and beyond. Our mission, to achieve endur- ing excellence in research and education in science, engineering, medicine and business for the benefit of society, is more important than ever. Read about our Strategy 2020 to 2025 here Imperial College London’s mission is to achieve enduring excellence in research and education in science, engineering, medicine and business for the benefit of society.
SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY 2021 -2026
The societal, economic and technological consequences of the UK government’s target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 cannot be overstated. Universities like Imperial must step up to provide the solutions, collaborations and skills necessary to help us get there, while also working to make society fair and equitable. Our new Strategy outlines how we plan to address these environmental challenges to create a sustainable university for the future and become a carbon net-zero institution by 2040. Sustainability will shape Imperial’s plans and activities at all levels and across all campuses. The College’s Sustainability Strategy Advisory Group was established in 2020 to ensure that we turn this notion into reality and, in the context of our considerable but finite resources, set a credible roadmap for its delivery. Our vision for the Strategy can be viewed here.
THE IMPERIAL ESTATE
South Kensington is our main campus and it is here that most undergradu- ate and postgraduate activity takes place. It’s a compact site in the heart of ‘Albertopolis’ and is home to a huge range of architectural styles from the Edwardian Royal School of Mines building to the ultra-modern Norman Fos- ter-designed Business School. There’s plenty of green space too, including a beautiful landscaped square, with our famous Queen’s Tower at one end. Imperial’s White City campus is a platform for innovation and entrepreneur- ship at the heart of a vibrant area to live, work and play. The College is driv- ing this evolution with a £2 billion investment in a new 23-acre integrated collaborative campus. As a central pillar of this vision, the Molecular Scienc- es Research Hub is the first facility to host Imperial research and teaching staff.
