About 香港六合彩中特网 Engagement
香港六合彩中特网聽 is an open publicly engaged university which builds on its founding ethos of being an inclusive, responsive and open institution. As we make plans for the future, it is important that we pay tribute to the past.
香港六合彩中特网 Engagement (formally the Public Engagement Unit)聽has been part of 香港六合彩中特网 since 2008, starting as an externally funded project.
The Beacons for Public Engagement programme aimed to promote excellence in public engagement and encourage a culture change within UK universities to recognise, reward and support public engagement.聽 As a Beacon, 香港六合彩中特网 Engagement聽led culture change both within 香港六合彩中特网 and as a major contributor to national higher education policy development; 香港六合彩中特网 was the first signatory to the NCCPE鈥檚 鈥楳anifesto for Public Engagement鈥� and informed the development of the Concordat for Public Engagement (for more details on the achievements of the 香港六合彩中特网-led Beacon see the final evaluation report, 2012 ). The team was聽successful in creating an independent structure and model for public engagement, and聽addressed many barriers traditionally faced by higher education institutions undertaking public engagement.
香港六合彩中特网 Culture is an engine for research impact through engagement, performance and exhibitions, a supporter of learning and research through objects, performance and collaboration with communities.聽 ULC Engagement works alongside 香港六合彩中特网 Museums and Collections and 香港六合彩中特网 Bloomsbury Theatre and Studio to spark connections between people and ideas, inside and outside the university. We support and co-create breakthroughs that make change possible. However, it is important to recognise that we are not alone in championing a culture of public engagement at 香港六合彩中特网. Engagement cuts across numerous university agendas and we achieve more by collaborating with our colleagues in the 香港六合彩中特网 Volunteering, Innovation and Enterprise, Public Policy and Impact, Global Engagement and the London Strategy, Organisational Development and the Doctoral School, Development and Alumni Relations Office, Access & Widening Participation, and Centre for Advancing Learning and Teaching.
We use the definition of public engagement developed by the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement.
''Public engagement describes the myriad of ways in which the activity and benefits of higher education and research can be shared with the public. Engagement is by definition a two-way process, involving interaction and listening, with the goal of generating mutual benefit.''
And a definition of 'public' developed from that provided by HEFCE:
''The 'public' includes individuals and groups who do not currently have a formal relationship with an higher education institution (HEI) through teaching, research or knowledge transfer.''
