We are committed to bringing our expertise, facilities and people into play for the benefit of the region. Our strong academic performance allows us to work with not only our students, but also local individuals, organisations and businesses to develop their knowledge and skills.
Drawing students and staff from all over the world, we offer a vast pool of experience and capacity from our very diverse campus in Bangor as well as through our extensive collaboration with international universities.
We work in partnership with a wide range of organisations, businesses and community groups and have another great facility for students, staff, businesses and the wider community in Bangor University’s Pontio Arts and Innovation Centre in the heart of the city of Bangor.
Through our research, we have a major impact around the world according to the independent national assessment of research quality. In fact, more than three-quarters of Bangor’s research is either world-leading or internationally excellent. Our Research Impact Case Studies illustrates some additional examples of this high-quality research.
From the major contribution we make to protecting the environment, bilingualism, and improving health and wellbeing it is clear that the research carried out by Bangor academics is having a major economic impact as well bringing significant benefits to the lives of people around the world.
These are remarkably impressive results for us as an institution, and we’re determined to work with businesses to share this knowledge and expertise and to create wealth and opportunity for people in north Wales and beyond.

At M-SParc , we are proud to announce that we are working with Bangor University on their ‘25 by 25’ campaign. The project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 25% by the year 2025. Setting targets and way points on our journey towards Net Zero will be a crucial part of the challenge, as a seemingly impossible task can be completed by creating steps along the way. This project also turbocharges the work necessary for us to calculate a ‘baseline’ that we will be reducing by 25%. By investigating our current emissions, we will gain important insight into our current activities, giving a holistic overview of where we could do better.
At the heart of the 25 by 25 project, are new ideas. We will be working closely with not only our colleagues at Bangor University, but crucially we will be working alongside students – the future! Students were invited to submit ideas and initiatives on how the University could reduce its CO2e emissions. We received over 40 proposals from students and staff which were assessed by a panel of representatives across the University.
If you have any great ideas about how to reduce emissions, or have any questions regarding the project, please get in touch with Rhodri on the Low Carbon team!
From simple questions to complex queries, we’re happy to chat about what you need.
