Edinburgh Impact
Data is vital for shaping our future. The Data-Driven Innovation (DDI) initiative leverages big data to boost economic growth, focusing on innovation, education, and skill development for a data-optimised future.
The UK has made economic growth its goal. But by making GDP the ultimate metric of progress, are we stunting growth of more important things?
An independent report into the University of Edinburgh’s sport and wellbeing activities has shown that for every £1 invested, £5.69 was generated in economic impact and social value.
We are a truly global University, making a contribution to the world, through global partnership, community and exchange.
We're committed to contributing to the city of Edinburgh through research, teaching, facilities and events.
