We are proud to call Norwich and East Anglia home. Our research, alumni, students and colleagues all contribute towards public understanding, economic growth, health and well-being in our region and beyond. We provide engagement opportunities through our busy cultural and educational programme.
Community Screen Forum
The aim of the Community Screen Forum is to support the delivery and curation of high quality screen experiences in under-serviced areas that are relevant for the local community, and to continue to widen the accessibility of public exhibition for films and other screenings.
Consultancy and contract research
We're dedicated to working with businesses to combine excellence in research and innovation with a vibrant enterprise culture. Virtual Past, The Landscape Group and Make are specialist consulting groups in the Faculty; and academics also offer individual expertise to help businesses solve problems and innovate.
Day of the Girl Norwich
We are an inclusive group who work with all sections of the community to address and advocate for girls rights locally, nationally and globally. International Day of the Girl takes place each year on the 11th of October, but throughout the year we can offer a range of workshops and other activities for schools and community groups.
