About the Arc Universities Student Panel

The Arc Universities Student Panel Summit brings together doctoral students from diverse backgrounds and disciplines across the Oxford to Cambridge region to explore the transformative potential of academic research. This event fosters collaboration, enhances public engagement skills, and provides an invaluable opportunity to reflect on how research and academic careers can drive sustainable development, regional innovation, and economic growth across the UK.

Building on the success of the 2022 summit, which underscored the vital role of student input in the region’s progress, the 2024 AUG Student Panel continues to prioritise student involvement in shaping the regional agenda.

Throughout the year, the panel has facilitated a series of discussions, culminating in a one-day summit on November 5th at the University of Bedfordshire, titled “Embedding Sustainability for the Long Term in the Oxford-Cambridge Region.” This event will focus on ensuring that sustainability remains a central and enduring principle in the region’s future development.
