Universities: How can we take a people-centred approach to engage with our places?

Between 19 and 20 October 2022 Newcastle University will host the second collaborative conference with the University of Pittsburgh. Building on last year’s conference we will explore and share best practices on how Universities advance place-based approaches through community and student engagement and importantly how we measure our impact and demonstrate accountability to our communities and stakeholders.

The conference will include a programme of concurrent sessions focussed on the themes of sustainability, health, culture and cities and places. Plenary sessions will draw upon the role universities play in their place, looking at a range of international contexts and approaches to impact and evaluation.

Please do share this with any colleagues or students or partners who you think might be interested in attending we hope to see some of you virtually at the conference.
