PRME Chapter UK & Ireland



PRME UK and Ireland

PRME Chapter UK & Ireland was established in 2013 and serves as a focal point of coordination and communication for the UK and Ireland based signatories of PRME. We work with higher education institutions and related bodies to support the integration of PRME and the advancement of the UN SDGs.

Purpose

The primary purpose of the Chapter is to advance the Mission, Vision, and Seven Principles of PRME, working in alignment with the requirements set out in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the PRME Secretariat and PRME Chapter UK & Ireland.

Activities

The UK & Ireland Chapter engages in a wide range of activities and initiatives including annual competitions, regular seminars, workshops, and training events, including Onboarding Sessions for new PRME Leads and support with PRME SIP reporting. In 2018, the UK & Ireland Chapter established seven Local Networks to offer a forum to promote PRME, as well as organise and participate in events, themed conferences, and other activities at a more localised level. The UK and Ireland Chapter holds an Annual Conference and Doctoral Colloquium, next taking place at Queen’s Business School, Belfast, from 17-19 June 2025.

Steering Committee and Key Chapter contacts:

An elected Steering Committee (SC) is the main governance body of the Chapter. The role of the SC is to provide strategic leadership of the Chapter in the interests of all Chapter Members, in line with the mandate provided and reviewed by the PRME Secretariat on an annual basis.
