Abstract

This briefing paper explores the possible futures for university-community engagement in England. A number of factors make this review timely: firstly, the changed political environment since the election of the coalition government; second, the Comprehensive Spending Review published in October 2010; and finally, the ending of government funding for initiatives such as the Beacons for Public Engagement and South East Coastal Communities (SECC) programme.

Key points

• The re-shaping of the funding landscape for English higher education will create new drivers for universities to engage with their communities.
• The technological and cultural changes present a challenge to the traditional views of universities as secure repositories of codified knowledge.
• As key agents of influence on the economic, social and cultural capital of their localities, there may be important opportunities for universities given the renewed interest in revitalising civic society.
