  1. Research

    Find out more about LJMU's commitment to develop cross-faculty research, to exchange knowledge, and to collaborate with external partners and organisations that focus on the Armed Forces community.

  2. SDG 4 - Quality education

    LJMU have a dual focus on quality on education through curriculum delivered in Liverpool and via our external engagement activities. We have committed to feature sustainable development as part of our taught courses, and we’re making efforts to decolonise the curriculum. We’re committed to our local community, delivering training for secondary school students in climate, chemistry and astrology.

  3. SDG 5 - Gender equality

    We are supporting all students to have the best experience possible at LJMU, regardless of their gender. That’s why we’re the first UK university to provide free period products across campus, and we’ve set up Menopause Cafés for staff. We’re also championing gender equality in the wider community, reflected through our involvement in the This Girl Can campaign with Sport England.

  4. SDG 10 - Reduced inequalities

    LJMU strives to enable equality for all people regardless of income, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, class, ethnicity, religion. Our international and collaborative research aims to give a voice to minoritised and vulnerable communities and end poor treatment of human beings. Our research extends to improving the treatment of women in African prisons and identifying disaster victims through our Face Lab.

  5. SDG 17 - Partnerships for the goals

    We are leading by example in our commitment to supporting the UN SDGs. As an institution, we are actively working towards these goals by prioritising actions to align our teaching and curriculum with the SDGs. Nationally, we are signatories of several covenants in support of equality, diversity and inclusion. Internationally, we’re leading a British Council consortium to address major global challenges and issues.

  6. SDG 1 - No poverty

    We are committed to ensuring that nobody should suffer from the effects of poverty. That’s why we’re supporting our students with the cost-of-living crisis, offering safe and warm spaces on campus. This sentiment is built into our Access and Participation Plan which aims to improve equality of opportunity for underrepresented groups to access, succeed in and progress from higher education and avoid poverty.

  7. SDG 2 - Zero hunger

    We’re tackling hunger through a range of community initiatives spanning on and off-campus at LJMU. We’re driving high-tech and sustainable food production through our work with Farm Urban and giving back to the community through contributions to the Fans Supporting Foodbanks initiative. In Southeast Asia, we are working to develop nature-based solutions to promote food security hungry.

  8. SDG 13 - Climate action

    We’re committed to protecting our environment and supporting a sustainable future for our students and the global community. On campus, we launched the UK’s first undergraduate degree on climate change and have revamped our buildings to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, used ground-breaking research to tackle peat fires in Indonesia and we’ve delivered flood resilience workshops in Cumbria.

  9. SDG 14 - Life below water

    LJMU research and facilities help to protect marine life and preserve our oceans for future generations. Locally, we offer state of the art facilities for students to train the next generation of maritime experts. We also work closely with ports and maritime companies to tackle key industry challenges. Internationally, our researchers have used forensic science to curb the illegal trade of marine wildlife and to detect microplastics in seas.
