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.
Many LJMU projects focus on protecting Life on Land. 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.
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. Nationally, LJMU AI researchers helped to solve murder case using a deep learning method originally developed for eco-conservation.
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.
LJMU was awarded the Liverpool Bambis Breastfeeding Friendly Mayoral Award in June 2022. The award recognises commitment to supporting staff, students and visitors who are breastfeeding their children to feel welcome to do so across campus buildings.
LJMU is working to promote sustainable, and equitable, economic growth. Through our work with businesses across the region, we’re supporting innovation to create low carbon goods, processes and services with international reach. On campus, our Accounting, Business and Law Clinics are providing students with valuable work experience while supporting the productivity of the wider community.
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.
The Faculty now has access to the impressive looking Visible Bodies Anatomy and Physiology software.
