Working with communities, industry and external partners
How can researchers build external partnerships that are meaningful, equitable and capable of creating real-world value? Join researchers, professional-services specialists and external partners for a panel discussion offering perspectives from both sides of the relationship. Together, they will explore how partnerships begin, how expectations are negotiated and what helps them succeed over time.
Whether they are interested in working with communities, businesses, policymakers, charities or cultural organisations, participants will leave with a clearer partnership proposition and an achievable first step.
Objectives
• Identify the foundations of meaningful, equitable and sustainable partnerships with organisations beyond the University.
• Evaluate approaches to agreeing shared expectations, responsibilities and measures of value with external partners.
• Develop a clear partnership proposition and an achievable first step towards engaging a relevant community, industry or sector partner.
