Our collections, our people and our partnerships enable us to make an invaluable and highly relevant contribution to some of the biggest issues facing the global population. We do this through research, conservation, training and inspiring others about the importance of plant and fungal science. We have existing partnerships to deliver an MSc programme, diplomas and short courses. We recognise however that we may be able to optimise even further our offer in line with the current scientific research mission, and as a result RBG Kew's Executive Board wish to explore the opportunity to create a "Kew University". We are considering seeking professional assistance to produce a Full Business Case from which the Executive Board of RBG Kew can take a decision, in principle, about whether to proceed with the concept of a Kew University.
