Our ecosystem is regionally harnessing the commitments and resources from UK universities...
Be a university which is visibly tackling local and regional issues, inside communities!
Join the UK's first social impact ecosystem, regionally connect your staff and students to seamlessly deploy their knowledge & expertise into communities as part of evolving socioeconomic impact.
We're creating a powerful new dimension for regional development!
By regionally connecting universities, we can harness powerful student knowledge exchange into community organisations and their activities - giving academia a unique immersive learning and community impact opportunity.
To achieve this, we've created a University Membership:
Live Learning
For over a decade, we've pioneered student live-learning inside 3rd sector operations
Here, member universities can connect curriculum into our live communities within the ecosystem.
Lecturers can build live-learning into a wide variety of their courses, with links established inside community organisations for practicing the theory as WRL - boosting Graduate Outcomes.
Regional Research
We've established regional impact research within our ecosystem.
Here, member universities can join independently funded research within the ecosystem for projects/commissions.
This is an exclusive research source for academics and students to design their own research and apply for funding, or join a funded regional research project.
Student Placements
We've established an enviable business, 3rd sector and public sector community inside our ecosystem.
Here, member universities have a regional access to this community within our ecosystem, from which to develop Placements which are subject-relevant and located near to when students live within the UK.
We're also enhancing HE Procurement...
Within the ecosystem we're helping universities to harness their supplier social value within procurement - to add-onto the wider public procurement approach to social value as a new economic support for communities.
