Universities are an integral part of their community. As places of learning and research they have a commitment to help tackle the challenges of society. At Plymouth we do this through our Community Research Awards programme - by engaging our community to develop solutions with us.
We need to identify what universities and businesses can, and can't, do in this arena, and then create regional consortia to offer an holistic package to schools that they can properly engage with and which will fulfil their IAG needs.
