A central commitment of any institution participating in PRME is to share information with its stakeholders on the progress made in implementing the Seven Principles through an annual Sharing Information on Progress (SIP) report. The 2026 SIP reporting period opened on 1 March and will close on 30 September.

​

The UK & Ireland Chapter is committed to supporting members in developing their respective SIP reports.

​

The Chapter offers regular webinars to aid members in SIP preparation. Information on these will be shared via our mailing list and under the “Events" section of the website.​​
