Creating Impact through Enterprise Education
Associate Dean (Education) Arts & Divinity, Dr Gosia Mitka, with Kenneth Boyd and Dr Kirsty Ross in the School of Computer Science, launched a project helping students to identify issues they believed were important to address in Scotland and provided them the opportunity to develop skills, networks and ideas that could be used to address these challenges.
Accepted proposals for 2023 included a project to position the University at the vanguard of reducing carbon emissions in higher education; development of scientifically informed comic books to bring issues such as climate change and forced migration to a broad range of stakeholders; and an app that will show users the locations of nearby epi-pens to benefit those with diabetes.
