The London 2012 Paralympic Games have begun in earnest and the University of Greenwich is playing a role at the heart of the action.

The Games, which include four days of equestrianism at Royal Greenwich Park, will see university staff and students involved from the start, helping the event live up to its billing as one of the most spectacular and inspirational sporting occasions to take place in the UK.

As an official host venue for the Olympics and Paralympics, the university continues to be at the centre of the sporting action this summer, with the Students’ Union providing facilities to support equestrian, running and shooting events in Royal Greenwich Park.
