    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.

    We are making strides to investigate affordable and clean energy solutions, and this is reflected across our teaching, research and knowledge exchange activities. We have forged partnerships with industry to test and develop new technologies such as biogas production, we are exploring green technologies through our exemplar houses, and we are working in Japan and Malaysia to ensure electric vehicles (EVs) remain low-carbon cars.

  8. SDG 9 - Industry, innovation and infrastructure

    Investing in infrastructure and innovation is essential to driving economic growth. At LJMU, we’re using innovative approaches to teach our students about new technologies while providing global citizenship skills at the same time. Our researchers have worked across multiple industry sectors, supporting sustainable innovation and industry growth across the Liverpool City Region and beyond.

For example, we’ve applied ground-breaking artificial intelligence technology to promoting wildlife conservation and we’ve led international research projects to protect endangered species in Indonesia. On campus, we’re creating green spaces for staff and students. Across the Liverpool City Region, we’re working with local authorities to put nature at the heart of city planning.

  10. SDG 16 - Peace, justice and strong institutions

    LJMU is committed to creating peaceful and inclusive societies. On campus, we support Armed Forces Day and we’re recognised under the Ministry of Defence’s Employer Recognition Scheme. Locally, we’ve partnered with the Merseyside Police, raising the standard of policing in Merseyside.
