The University became a signatory of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Community Wealth Building Pledge. The pledge was created by the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal in 2022 following work with the Centre for Local Economic Strategies to explore community wealth building within its projects. It asks the region’s universities and colleges to support the growth and development of local businesses; support fair employment practises; and engage with community-based organisations and projects to build resilience and long-term security within the region.University backs plans for local economic growth This article was published on 2025-01-23
