Collaborative working. 9.1 The University recognises the strength of collaborative arrangements, including the benefits of scale, increased engagement with students and potential applicants, enhanced co-ordination and reduced duplication. In 2017-18 we will continue to build on existing partnerships, including the IntoUniversity Bristol South centre developed with the Universities of Bath and Exeter.
Collaborative working. The Parties agree to adopt the following collaborative working principles when carrying out the Project:
Collaborative working. 4.2.1 Xxxxx Xxxx is committed to collaborative working to support widening participation and access in the broadest possible sense. We have demonstrated this through our role as lead partner for the London East Thames Gateway Aimhigher partnership, lead partner for the London Excellence Hub (which supported work with gifted and talented young people throughout London), and active member of the London West, Central and North Aimhigher partnership. We recognise the importance of these collaborative networks, which we have worked hard to build. We will commit resources to help maintain them, and Xxxxx Xxxx will work with the schools, further education colleges, HEIs, local authorities and other organisations currently involved in Aimhigher to explore the best way to maintain formal and informal networks in London. To facilitate this, we are in discussion with the developers of AccessHE, a new social enterprise that is seeking to take forward some selected aspects of the collaborative and targeted programmes of the current Aimhigher partnerships in London. These discussions are taking place through our established regional membership association, London Higher. We will also explore other models for continued collaborative working at both a regional and sub-regional level.
Collaborative working. Collaboration within the Council
Collaborative working. Collaboration with other HEIs and agencies will be key to the successful delivery of improved support for widening participation and access to schools, colleges and local communities. SOAS is an active member in a number of networks relating to widening participation and access. Involvement in these networks have enabled us to increase the scope and reach of our work in attracting disadvantaged students as well as contributing to raising aspirations of students irrespective of which institution they may go to. We will commit resources to key networks such as National Routes into Languages programme and the Linking London Lifelong Learning Network. In addition, we will be supporting new collaborative arrangements such as Access HE (formerly Aimhigher WECAN) and the Bloomsbury Specialist HEI Group. The Bloomsbury Specialist HEI Group consists of specialist institutions who aim to raise aspirations and widen subject choices for disadvantaged groups. SOAS is actively exploring opportunities for collaborative work across the Bloomsbury consortium based upon the strengths of the respective institutions to form a cost-efficient approach to outreach. We will review all collaborative arrangements during this year to ensure they meet our widening access and outreach objectives under the new fees regime.
Collaborative working. 7.1 The Parties agree that the activities under this Agreement shall be performed in:
Collaborative working. 4.1 The Parties intend to share information (some of which will be confidential in nature) in order that they can maximise the benefits delivered to the residents of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Xxxxx and to identify projects and activities which the Foundation can provide in an effective manner.
Collaborative working. Bath Spa University has been proactive in a number of regional partnerships that have worked to develop initiatives that encourage participation in higher education, some for over a decade, including the Aimhigher West Area Partnership and its precursor projects, the Western Foundation Degree Consortium and the WVLLN. We are also a founder member of Universities South West, a regional partnership of 13 higher education institutions in south west England. The University’s commitment to partnership working through greater collaboration with regional higher education institutions, local further education colleges and others is one of seven key themes in the University’s Strategic Action Plan 2009/10 to 2011/12. The University’s objectives will continue to be set firmly within national policies for education, and as we await the 2011 Higher Education White Paper, we will be seeking opportunities for collaborative working to contribute to Government educational policies, particularly those concerned with improving opportunities, accessibility and social mobility for people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Wessex Partnership The University’s foundation degree provision is mainly delivered through the Wessex Partnership with six further education colleges and two private providers. This strategic partnership underlines the University’s regional role and provides learners from under-represented groups with an opportunity to study a higher education programme at a local college. The evidence from HESA performance indicators consistently shows that foundation degree provision through the Wessex Partnership is attracting higher proportions of young entrants from low participation neighbourhoods, mature entrants, and mature entrants from low participation neighbourhoods than the University’s first degree programmes. Appendix 1 of the University’s Access Agreement 2011/12 describes the outreach activity associated with supporting our partnership institutions and foundation degree students. Expenditure from additional fee income will continue to support the costs associated with maintaining and developing the Wessex Partnership.
Collaborative working. 3.9.1 The Supplier acknowledges and agrees that Panel Customers may request Suppliers from the Panel to work in collaboration with the Panel Customer’s internal lawyers or lawyers from other Panel Suppliers or from non-Panel Suppliers with varying specialisms and experience to:
Collaborative working. Each of the Partners commits to sharing their existing business and work plans to identify where resources might be shared, if efficiencies can be achieved and to strive to ensure best value for the wider third sector and other stakeholders. They will work to identify key priorities, informed by the sector, and to achieve a new and co-ordinated infrastructure support mechanism through working together. We will seek to manage the increased expectations of the sector from statutory partners by continuing to build good working relationships. The core strands of work of the intermediary organisations are:
