About
Among UK universities, Warwick is a unique, and uniquely successful, institution. Despite its relative youth it is undoubtedly one of the UK’s leading universities with an acknowledged reputation for excellence in research and teaching, for innovation and for links with business and industry.
Throughout the University’s history, private funders have responded generously to the University ambitions to improve itself. I believe the University has benefitted immeasurably from the experience, support and friendship of individual donors, business partners and charitable organisations. They have played a significant part in helping to shape Warwick into the unique institution it is today.
The 50 Forward campaign aims to raise £50m to support the University’s ambitious strategy. With your support we are making excellent progress and I would like to thank everyone who is already helping us to invest in all of our futures.
Sir Richard Lambert
Chancellor, The University of Warwick
I have a question and it goes like this. Just suppose we are in a period in which the future of human life on the planet is seriously threatened – then are the world’s universities really doing all they could to mitigate and even head off the risks? So far as I’m concerned, it’s a rhetorical question. As a leading university we have an immense obligation.
As we approach our fiftieth anniversary in 2015 I believe that a university like Warwick is well placed to nurture the next generation of global decision makers and to identify solutions to some of the pressing challenges confronting the world. The 50 Forward campaign is intended to do just that.
Of course, a single university can’t do everything. But, as global citizens – and with your support - we can and must play our part. On this website we outline some key areas where I believe we can make a difference to the lives of people living both in the UK and overseas.
