Visit Cambridge with our Charity Calendar 2025
Visit #Cambridge with our Charity Calendar 2025 📅📸✨
Every year, we create a charity calendar, which is printed and sold to raise money for our chosen charity partner. For 2025, all proceeds will go to Book Aid International.
To source photos for the calendar, we ran a public photography competition for the first time in 2024. Together with the wider University of Cambridge, we invited members of the public as well as colleagues, students and #Cambridge alumni to send us their best photos of the city.
The calendar features a combination of photos of less frequently visited places, or of less conventional perspectives of familiar sights, with classic shots that never lose their charm!
The Cambridge Charity Calendar 2025 is available to purchase in-store or online from our Cambridge University Press Bookshop (UK shipping only).

Three things you should know about #assessment 💡
Whether you're a teacher, an assessment practitioner, or someone taking an assessment themselves, James Beadle from The Assessment Network team at Cambridge shares his top three things to improve your assessment practice... ⬇️
1. Many assessments in our lives go relatively unnoticed
2. Feedback only works if students are receptive to it
3. Metacognition, and self-assessment, is the future
