We have signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Durham-based Atom bank, the UK’s first app-based bank, to carry out collaborative research that addresses longer term opportunities and challenges facing both organisations and wider society, such as climate change.

We are once again looking forward to partnering the annual Durham Book Festival, set to take place from 13 – 16 October.

Senior British political figure Sir Malcolm Rifkind will visit Durham University to give a lecture and help raise funds in memory of a former student.
