The Civic University

When: Thursday, December 2, 2021, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Where: Online

In this event the panel discuss the outcome of Jonathan's research and his report into civic universities in the UK.

In 2018, the UPP Foundation established a commission to investigate the civic work of universities. The commission published its findings in February 2019 and recommended that universities set out to co-create Civic University Agreements with other key civic partners in order to beyond traditional civic engagement and become truly civic universities, embedded into their areas.

Jonathan Slater, former Permanent Secretary at the Department for Education and Visiting Professor at the Mile End Institute, has carried out a review into the progress made into the implementation of the UPP report in the higher education sector.

Panel:

Sir Bob Kerslake, Chair of the Board of Governors at Sheffield Hallam University

Dr Alexis Brown, Director of Policy and Advocacy, Higher Education Policy Institute

Ben Rogers, Professor of Practice, University of London
