Scientists have observed for the first time two million distant galaxies, quasars and stars that will help create the most detailed 3-D map of the Universe ever, which will further advance our understanding of the Universe and of our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

Durham City Run Festival returns to our historic city this year, providing summer competition, fun, and celebration.

Congratulations to the winners of this year's Durham University Volunteering and Outreach (DUVO) Awards.  These annual awards celebrate the positive impact the work of our volunteers has on individuals, the community, and our partners. Many of our students and staff were recognised for the invaluable contribution they make to over 20 different projects.
