Civic University Network webinar “Introducing the Civic Impact Framework”

24/03/2021
The Civic University Network is a national network led by Sheffield Hallam University, and supports universities across the UK to develop and embed civic aspirations at an institutional level, particularly through developing and publishing Civic University Agreements. The network cooperates with governments and strategic partners to ensure that a university’s geographic role and responsibility is used more effectively as an agent to drive positive societal change.
The Civic Impact Framework aims to help universities ask the right questions about their civic activity. The better the data universities can draw on, the more informed responses to these questions will be. By asking the framework questions and gathering appropriate data, universities can start to develop locally appropriate metrics and indicators.
The framework has three main purposes:
  • to help universities to celebrate and tell the story of the action they are taking to benefit their localities
  • to encourage universities to map their civic activities comprehensively
  • to encourage them to do better still, by creatively asking ‘what if?’ questions, generate imaginative and ambitious responses, and reflect with their peers on achievements and opportunities
