Engagement Readiness Monitor
Higher Education institutions have the potential to make more meaningful and tangible contributions to their cities, regions and nations by calling upon society, government and businesses to work together.
The Engagement Readiness Monitor develops a holistic approach towards measuring and integrating university business engagement.
Working together looks like:
developing future talent to power our economies
supporting employees’ career development and lifelong learning
offering important discoveries to the local community, or
fuelling the societal and entrepreneurial development of a region.
Yet, this potential remains partially unfulfilled by the key knowledge creators for the lack of a holistic overarching approach towards integrating engagement in research and educational missions of universities with the efforts being scattered across technology transfer and external engagement offices. The objective of this project is to ultimately ensure that universities are engagement ready and subsequently act as engaged universities through training, development and tracking of results.
