Abstract

The South East Coastal Communities (SECC) programme provided a focal point for community engagement within all nine higher education institutions involved. In this fourth paper in the SECC dissemination series, we explore the importance of an institutional strategy in embedding community engagement for the long term and identify its practical implications.

Key points

• Sustaining university-community engagement requires strategic institutional commitment and practical follow-through at all university management levels.
• Some funding is needed to underpin engagement activity. Project funding needs light-touch accountability structures.
• SECC has impacted positively on teaching, learning and research at the participating universities.
