Queen’s University Belfast has a long-standing connection with our friends, supporters, and alumni in the United States and Canada.
Through philanthropic initiatives, academic engagement, and strategic partnerships, we continue to enhance Queen’s global presence and advance its impact on education, research, and innovation worldwide.
The Friends of Queen’s University Belfast, Inc., which offers leadership and expertise, enhances our engagement in the USA. Established in 1998, it has been crucial in promoting philanthropy, engaging alumni, and improving global recognition. The Board also supports fundraising efforts for scholarships, research, and facilities at the University.
Together, we are cultivating a robust network of alumni and friends, enabling them to stay connected with Queen’s, contribute to its initiatives, and play an integral role in shaping its future through meaningful engagement and generous giving.
Queen's researchers address global challenges in cancer research, cybersecurity, and renewable energy by forming strategic partnerships with institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, and the University of Toronto. This commitment to research excellence and a supportive environment continues to attract outstanding talent from North America.
As Queen’s marks its 180th anniversary, its connections to North America remain a key part of its mission. With a legacy of distinguished alumni, world-class research, and impactful leadership, we look forward to strengthening ties with North America in the future.
