Seminar Series

Our first seminar (March 2025) focussed on innovative engagement practice and cultures that support it. We welcomed speakers from our most recent case studies to share their work, and met our most recent Engage Watermark winners. The University of Suffolk and Robert Gordon University reflected on the approaches their institutions are taking to support engagement, before receiving their awards.

In this NCCPE Seminar you'll hear about Global Engagement Perspectives on Scholarly Dissemination. The peer-reviewed research article is still considered important for sharing new and impactful research and practice. However, for many in community-university engagement, the dominant conventions of academic publishing marginalise or exclude potential authors who want to share their work, and the things they seek to share: collaboration, methodological innovation, a diversity of knowledges and practices, and an emphasis on action.

In this NCCPE Seminar you'll hear all about the NCCPE Engaged Futures Programme.

The NCCPE have been consulting with people about potential futures for higher education. We have imagined what universities and research organisations might be like in 2045 and considered how universities will be more inclusive; recognise and value different knowledges; and be more interconnected and collaborative with others. Involving people who work alongside and within the HE sector, the consultation has been supported by our Engage Catalysts who have extended the conversation to their networks.

This NCCPE seminar explores how social accountability and public value models are shaping the future of higher education. We hear from St Mary’s University, which is pioneering a socially accountability approach to establishing its new medical school, and from a Cardiff Business School at Cardiff University who are embedding public value principles into teaching, research, and partnerships.
