Abstract

The South East Coastal Communities (SECC) programme brought together nine universities spanning the coastal region across Kent, Sussex and Hampshire. Each sub-region took a different approach to defining their community. In the third of this series of dissemination papers we look at the opportunities for sub-regional and regional working between universities and their communities.

Key Points

• The SECC experience of ‘regional collaboration’ suggests that universities need to be able to manage community engagement activities flexibly and locally but also at the sub-regional level.
• Universities should provide a ‘way-in’ for communities, whether this is a collaborative gateway within a city-region or grafted on to an institution’s existing business engagement structures.
