Higher Education as a stakeholder in community, city and region: Offering leadership?

Session outline: The exciting possibilities for the construction of a local learning city or region will not have escaped the perceptive university. They herald a new era in university- local authority cooperation. There are opportunities for gaining new knowledge, new resources and for making a key contribution. This session therefore explores, through a series of assignments and exercises, what these opportunities are and how they can be realized. It should not only be completed by people from the universities. The perceptions of managers and others from the city and other stakeholders would provide valuable information about perceptions and what could be done.
