The NCIA is funded by Research England until the end of 2025. It aims to increase the connectivity, momentum, and effectiveness of the HE sector’s civic activities for local societal, economic, and environmental benefit and maximise the contribution universities can make towards addressing societal challenges and responding to policy priorities.
Equitable Partnerships for Civic Engagement toolkit
Universities work with a wide range of partners to make a positive difference in, with and for their local places and communities. Partnerships are essential for civic engagement – but some partnerships are more equitable than others.
The Queen Mary civic and public engagement teams have been working with colleagues from universities across England and their civic partners to explore how we enable more equitable partnership working together.
