Jesus joins new innovation Charter
As part of the College’s drive toward greater sustainability, responsible investment, and inclusive growth, Jesus College has become a signatory to the Innovate Cambridge Charter.
The Charter has an ambitious and inclusive vision for Cambridge in light of the challenges of climate, health, and the digital transformation of our world. Its objective is to develop innovative ways of maximising the impact and application of research happening in Cambridge, looking ahead to 2030 and beyond.
The initiative includes leaders from industry, the investment community, accelerators, the University and other research institutions, local government, science and technology parks, networks and programmes, start-ups, and entrepreneurs.
Dr Richard Anthony, the Bursar of Jesus College, said: “The College believes it is important to support the future of innovation in Cambridge, for the benefit of the College and the wider community. We are located right in the centre of the city and our future is Cambridge’s future, where development has to occur sustainably and inclusively.”
He continued: “Following the launch of the College Sustainability Strategy and Responsible Investment Policy, we’ve been seeking opportunities to work with others to help to make the biggest impact. Our particular priorities within the Charter are sustainability, inclusive growth and equality of opportunity, and infrastructure, as these are areas of central concern to the College and where we feel we have a lot of expertise to bring to the table.”
Dr Anthony concluded: “We hope that others will also support this initiative so that it can continue to grow.”
