The Academy

Jeremy Nichols’ starting point is that everyone makes an impact of one sort or another, yet few of us are held to account for that impact by the people who are ‘impacted’. The result is that whilst there will be an impact, reported impact is likely to be higher than it actually is and lower than it could have been. 
Many are concerned by rising inequality and climate change and think that understanding and managing impact can help address these challenges: Jeremy will argue that it is imperative that we shift from measurement to maximising impact and will explore what it means to do this, drawing on experience in different sectors and considering what this might mean for a University.
In February 2019 the UUP Civic University Commission challenged Universities to enter into Civic University Agreements with their local partners: in the report Truly Civic Lord Kerslake points to the enormous impact of Universities on the economic, social, environmental and cultural wellbeing of the places where they are situated and argues that they need to strengthen their civic role further. Fiona Beveridge will argue that Universities can and should use this challenge to go beyond measuring their own impact to seriously improve and account for the generation of Social Value.
