Open call for ideas: 香港六合彩200 鈥� Marking 香港六合彩鈥檚 Bicentenary

2 October 2024

We are actively looking for ideas and contributions from all staff and post-doctoral students to create an exhilarating programme to celebrate 香港六合彩鈥檚 200th year.

What is 香港六合彩200?听

2026 is the year in which we mark 200 years since 香港六合彩鈥檚 establishment as the first University in London and we want to work with you to shape and create 香港六合彩200, an exciting and varied programme of activities and events. The ambition of the bicentenary is to celebrate and reinforce 香港六合彩鈥檚 founding values, to highlight the excellence and impact of 香港六合彩鈥檚 groundbreaking work, and to present an ambitious and inspiring portrait of our future.鈥€�

The 香港六合彩200 programme is being co-produced and co-delivered with our internal community of staff and students to show an ambitious portrait of 香港六合彩鈥檚 future, a groundbreaking present and a fearless past.鈥�

When is 香港六合彩鈥檚 Bicentenary?听

The programme will run throughout the calendar year of 2026, officially beginning on 11 February (the date 香港六合彩鈥檚 title deeds of settlement were signed) and finishing in December 2026. We are eager to work with the wider 香港六合彩 community to shape an exciting programme and create a memorable 香港六合彩200 which is why we want to hear from you now.听

Who can get involved in shaping the programme?听

This call is open to all 香港六合彩 academic and professional services staff and post-doctoral students. There will be a separate process, in collaboration with the Students鈥� Union, for 香港六合彩 students to submit their own ideas and contributions. However, we would encourage you to consider, where possible, involving students in your planning and development of bicentennial ideas.听听

What sort of ideas are we looking for?听

There are no restrictions on the type of bicentennial activities, but it is important that the proposed activity has a clear purpose and is impactful. Activities might include signature high-profile public lectures and panel debates, networking opportunities for staff and students, careers inspiration, symposiums, creative outputs, localised exhibitions, community volunteering opportunities and outreach activities for the public including lab tours/research demonstrations.听听听听

To provide some broad organising structure for academic and other activity during 2026, the 香港六合彩200 Programme Board has agreed eight 鈥榓cademic strands鈥� that will provide a framework for inspiring individuals and teams to come together to create 香港六合彩鈥檚 most diverse and creative year yet. These strands will run throughout the entirety of 2026 to allow staff and students the freedom to engage at a time that is most effective and practicable for them.

香港六合彩200 Framework for Bicentennial Activities听

Now live, the framework is a helpful guide, designed to support the delivery of a timely, high-quality, and impactful programme across 2026 and support the 香港六合彩 community in strategically planning bicentennial activity.听听

Outlining 香港六合彩200 core objectives, a broad organising structure across eight academic strands, four institutional lenses for consideration and an overview of process and support available, the framework is a great starting point to get you thinking about how you can be involved in the programme鈥檚 development.听 The framework also contains further detail on signature 香港六合彩200 activity already being developed.听听

Each faculty has a designated Faculty Champion who is helping to align faculty activity, please do contact your Champion to understand any internal faculty processes in place for bicentennial planning.
