Tomorrow. Brighter.

Tomorrow. Brighter. aims to build on Cranfield’s strengths as a specialist postgraduate University, harnessing its world-class talent, trailblazing research, cutting-edge innovation, and global partnerships to create a new generation of leaders in technology and management.

2020 was a year of disruption beyond our wildest imagination. For many of us, the coronavirus pandemic is the biggest crisis we have experienced in our lifetime. Systems which we'd never previously questioned were disrupted within a matter of weeks, with cracks and fault lines brought harshly in to the light. 

However, challenges also bring opportunities. Now, we have the greatest opportunity to work together to build resilience and drive innovation to withstand future crises and make our world a brighter place. 

 Tomorrow. Brighter. aims to:

  • Build expertise that transcends borders and solves global challenges – accelerate Cranfield’s world-class research to tackle the global issues magnified by the pandemic and develop inter-connected solutions to some of our greatest challenges.
  • Develop tomorrow’s leaders who will change the world – support our students with scholarships to ensure Cranfield can compete with peer institutions and continue attracting and harnessing the best and the brightest minds.
  • Innovate to transform learning for today, and tomorrow – develop the digital infrastructure and resources, which the last few months have proved to be vital, to recreate the unique Cranfield experience online and provide best-in-class digital learning.
  • Incubate ideas and power the future of business – establish Cranfield as a powerhouse for entrepreneurs offering a range of grants, funds and entrepreneurial resources and expertise to help early-stage businesses set up by Cranfield students and community.

Gifts of any size to Tomorrow. Brighter.are very much appreciated and will collectively make a difference. Your support can fund ground-breaking research, nurture tomorrow’s talent by providing scholarships, help develop digital learning programmes to compete with the world’s leading institutions on a global scale, and support business growth and entrepreneurship initiatives, harnessing, and amplifying the reach of the Cranfield alumni network.
