The collaboration will give the University of Greenwich staff, students, event visitors and the wider university community the opportunity to enjoy the fantastic attractions and events all year round.

Zeeshan Asghar, Associate Director of Partnerships said:

“We are delighted to form this collaboration with Royal Museums Greenwich, the custodians of some of the most important historical sites in the borough and look forward to all the joint opportunities this will bring.”

Chris Walker, Executive Business and Operations Director at Royal Museums Greenwich said:

“Learning is at the core of both RMG and the University, and this memorandum of understanding is a significant step towards enabling more students to access a broader range of learning opportunities at the Museum within both Collections and the working environment. We look forward to deepening an already strong relationship with the institution and starting to build long lasting connections with its students.”

Students at Greenwich will benefit from the collaboration through employability and work opportunities spanning across the wide variety of sites and events hosted by Royal Museums Greenwich.

Working collaboratively, the alliance will provide valuable industry insights through dedicated projects and initiatives run by the university such as Venture Crawls and Discovery Days.
