Hubs & networks

In March 2020 King’s College London temporarily closed Science Gallery London (SGL) in line with UK Government guidelines in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Like many other organisations we are continuing to respond to the challenges presented by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and in this context we are not inviting the public onto our campuses, including SGL. All SGL spaces have now been temporarily adapted to support on-campus teaching. The impact of the pandemic remains uncertain and will continue to be monitored in the light of increasing restrictions. King’s remains committed to engaging our communities with research; to the ongoing development of King's Cultural Community; and to pioneering collaborations in arts and science that enhance education and research. We will continue to deliver cultural programmes digitally, including a new online Inside Art and Science micro course for King’s students. King’s is and remains a member of the Science Gallery Global Network.

The Arts, Health & Wellbeing hub brings together academics, students and healthcare professionals around King’s with an interest in the intersection between arts and health. King’s distinctive approach leverages the university’s cultural connections and the reach of King’s Health Partners to support innovative research, trial arts-based health interventions and support the development of the healthcare professionals of the future.

The Creative Digital Partnerships (virtual) hub will provide a means for creative industries and cultural partners, artists and King’s staff and students to design new digital outputs together, pool expertise and forge new relationships. Led by the Faculty of Arts & Humanities, the hub will use a range of co-production approaches to support King's Research, Education and Service ambitions through digital creative industries and related cultural partnerships in London and beyond. In turn, it will contribute to strengthening a community at King’s interested and engaged in digital creativity, and enhancing the university’s position at the intersection of the creative industries, higher education and cultural engagement.

Connecting a series of venues across the Strand campus including the Inigo Rooms and the Arcade and Exchange in Bush House.

With a number of key spaces across the Strand Campus that are used on a regular basis for cultural activity, the projects presented across the quarter aim to maximise interdisciplinary work between Strand-based faculties, engage high profile key partners on a regular basis, and provide an ongoing cultural programme that is meaningful to students, the academic community and the sector, providing an effective platform to amplify King’s research and education.
