UNIfy Festival is a new annual event – running from April 12 to 16 – which aims to showcase the links between the University and the city.
This year’s event will be online but future festivals will be based on-campus, allowing people to explore and get to know the University, its academics and researchers.
There are three broad themes, based around Heritage and Culture, Building Resilience and Enterprise and Innovation.
The various discussions showcase some of the research which is being done by University academics and how they impact on the city, such as projects like Zero Waste Bradford, which explores how anyone can help bring about meaningful change to combating waste and Childhood: How it impacted who I am today, which highlights how important the first 1,000 days of life are.
All activities have been developed following discussion with the community, to create a broad and balanced, topical range of subjects, which are in line with the University’s long term strategy of engagement within the city.
