Local partnerships

King's works in partnership with our local London communities to improve access to education, support the development of thriving local economies, solve problems such as air pollution and health inequality and develop opportunities for creative collaboration. Our staff, students and alumni work closely with local charities, schools and voluntary organisations and we know that these partnerships add value to research, education and to the communities around us.

Collaboration is a key feature of research at King's, featuring local, national and international partnerships which facilitate pioneering research that crosses disciplines and changes paradigms.
