The race is spread across globally and divided into 8 legs, lasting a full year and expected to cover an estimated 40,000 nautical miles. The clippers would set off from Eastern Australia before calling to port at Keppel bay in Singapore in Early February 2012.

QMU is one of the sponsors of for the clipper, Edinburgh inspiring Capital, which is amongst the 10 clippers involved. The idea for Edinburgh inspiring capital was conceived as a joint international marketing strategy, to amplify messages of location and lifestyle, with Edinburgh’s major Universities – one of it being QMU.

Also present amongst the guests were Professor Petra Wend, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of QMU and Ms Rosalyn Marshall Vice Principal (Resources and Development) of QMU.
