Yorkshire Universities Annual Report
YU has published
its Annual Report for the period 2010-11.
Through its activities, YU has built stronger links
with the wider membership by working with colleagues involved in teacher
education, healthcare, higher level skills, employability and widening
participation, marketing and international student recruitment, research and
knowledge transfer partnerships.
The report sets out YU’s priorities for the upcoming
year, which include:
- Continue to facilitate key YU groups to respond effectively to public policy and expenditure challenges and to build Yorkshire’s higher education capacity.
- Create stronger and more co-ordinated higher education sector engagement with LEPs and the new arrangements for economic development and business growth. This is likely to focus on areas such as the economy, enterprise, innovation and skills.
- Further develop new and existing collaborations to foster innovation and knowledge intensive activities which benefit the membership and generate wider public benefit.
- Develop new resources and build relationships which promote Yorkshire’s higher education offer nationally and internationally to attract inward investment and student recruitment.
- Support members to strengthen their approaches for graduate employment and employability and widening engagement.
