Veterinary Research Receives £150 million Boost
Veterinary research is to be given a major financial boost, having been placed at the heart of the University of Nottingham's biggest ever fundraising campaign.
A project focusing on infectious diseases in livestock will be funded by the university, forming part of 'Impact: The Nottingham Campaign,' which will raise £150 million to support the university's vision to change lives, tackle global issues and shape the future.
The campaign was launched on the Monday 17th October and will fund a diverse student body, provide a richer student experience, transform research programmes and help the University make an even greater contribution to the global communities it serves.
Chosen to reflect Nottingham's strong tradition of pioneering work in medicine, diagnostics and community health, the Infectious Diseases in Livestock project will enable the University to expand its commitment to animal welfare, recognising the important role that animals play.
On the eve of the launch, Professor David Greenaway Vice-Chancellor at The University of Nottingham revealed that over £50 million has already been raised through donations from alumni and business.
He said: "The University of Nottingham was founded on the vision and generosity of Jesse Boot. He believed that a pioneering spirit and academic achievement were key to a better society. Today his vision stands firm and these deep philanthropic roots continue to nourish the University's uniquely global growth and worldwide impact."
Eligible members of BEVA will be able to vote for their Council team until Monday, 17 August 2026. Members will have received an election email on 17 July.
