Dates for your diary

What’s coming up

Your worldwide University community reunites every year at events, online and in person. Keep an eye on our webpage for upcoming reunions and events.

BRIGHT MINDS

Where: online  |  When: year-round events 
We want you to be the first to hear about the new and exciting research coming out of your University. And who better to tell you about it than the researchers themselves? Throughout the year, you are invited to attend a series of short, online talks, across a range of research topics, from some of Sheffield’s most talented early career researchers. 

HERITAGE CIRCLE LUNCH 

Where: Firth Court, University of Sheffield  |  When: 7th November 2025 
The Heritage Circle recognises the generous commitment of those wanting to leave a lasting legacy by making a gift in their Will to the University of Sheffield.

This special event is our opportunity to say thank you for your continued support. There will be a behind-the-scenes look at the University’s latest developments from senior staff where, after lunch, you’ll hear about the exciting projects that are making an impact across the world in very different ways.

If you’re thinking of leaving a donation in your Will, or have already pledged, and haven’t received an invitation please contact Dave Meadows at d.meadows@sheffield.ac.uk or call 0114 222 1073.
