For nearly 200 years, we’ve harnessed the power of our minds to accelerate progress, unearth discoveries and pioneer innovation.
Today, the world is facing monumental challenges that are vast, complex and interconnected. They’re too divisive to have simple answers. Too urgent to be postponed. And too big to be solved alone.

Our world faces monumental challenges
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,000
Vast, complex and interconnected
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:32,000
More people than ever are fleeing their homes
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,000
A number set to soar with the climate crisis
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,500
Amidst mounting physical and mental health pressures
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Fragile health systems are at breaking point
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,700
Technological advancements surge us forward
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:58,000
but their safe and ethical use often lags behind
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
The most vulnerable bear the brunt
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Weighed down by barriers to opportunity
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,900
These urgent challenges unite our ambition
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,500
and shape our five priorities
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,400
to create meaningful impact
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,000
for people, planet and society
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,800
A thriving and sustainable planet
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,500
A thriving and sustainable planet
One we safeguard and steward with urgency
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,800
Whole-life health for mind and body
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,500
Whole-life health for mind and body
Through pioneering advancements in
prevention, medicine and healthcare
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Mobilising social equality
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Mobilising social equality
So that access and attainment isn't defined by background
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:49,700
Peace and justice in a turbulent world
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:55,000
Peace and justice in a turbulent world
To strengthen resilience and forge pathways to sanctuary
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,800
Technology for the greater good
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,800
Technology for the greater good
Where innovation enriches connections and serves humanity
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,000
[all five themes appear on screen,

00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:14,000
For almost 200 years, King's has been at the forefront of global progress
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,500
We're influencing policy at the highest levels of government
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Expanding community routes to university attainment
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:30,000
Developing world-leading mental health treatments
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:33,000
Educating thousands of displaced learners
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:36,800
Shaping the dialogue on responsible AI
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:41,500
But meaningful impact takes a collective effort
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,000
At this pivotal moment
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,200
Collaboration is our strongest asset
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Clinicians working with technologists
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:54,500
Policymakers working with historians
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Engineers working with creatives
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,000
Students working with communites
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:01,000
With impact driving all that we do
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:03,500
Together, we're more than the sum of our parts
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Shaping futures. Transforming lives.

00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:12,000
United by knowledge with purpose.
