INTRODUCTION FROM STUART REID, PRINCIPAL
As a pioneer of the One Health approach, the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) is forging important partnerships with leaders in human medicine and the social sciences. We lead research programmes which are recognised and funded by organisations and initiatives such as the Global Challenges Research Fund, UK Research and Innovation, EU Government, Wellcome Trust and the Gates Foundation.
Our science is addressing some of the most important global challenges affecting the livelihoods of some of the poorest communities worldwide.
To enable this journey of discovery, we are developing facilities that inspire and promote collaboration between our scientists, clinicians and external partners, empowering our students to become the One Health leaders of the future, equipped to tackle the global challenges faced by society.
The £45 million development of the Hawkshead Campus is already underway and will bring together the research, educational and clinical aspects of
our endeavours. We have already raised £40 million from a combination of private investment and prudent organisational savings, and we now invite our philanthropic partners to join us in supporting this important initiative and the next chapter in the RVC’s contribution to a safer, healthier world for all.
“We are proud to be early supporters of the Science for the Planet campaign to build an environment (at the RVC) optimised to educate and inspire the next generation of veterinary clinicians and scientists.”
