An Introduction to Engagements

 

Led by the The Think Tank for the Social Mission of Universities, a part of the SGroup Universities in Europe network [TTSMU], Engagements is a groundbreaking SGroup conversations series dedicated to the multiple dimensions of Social Mission work in Higher Education. Intended to engage both experts in this fast-growing area of HE and colleagues who are just starting to explore it, Engagements will enable participants to share thinking around Social Mission opportunities, challenges and impact, and work cocreatively to enhance innovative approaches to the role of universities as agents of societal change.
