Abstract

The South East Coastal Communities (SECC) programme brought together nine universities spanning the coastal region across Kent, Sussex and Hampshire. This final paper in the SECC Briefing Series shares our experience of measuring the impact of university-community engagement.

Key points

• There is a need to distinguish between evaluating the impact of the partnership on its stakeholders and evaluating the wider social impact of university-community initiatives
• Impact measures should be realistic and proportionate both to the partnership activity and the stage of development of the partnership
• Current policy developments suggest a number of strategic priorities for impact work: these will shape how and what we measure in the future
