Charting, Making and Surviving Change: setting the scene for community-university research Marjorie Mayo (Goldsmiths, University of London) The Third Sector Research Capacity Building Cluster Based in 3 universities (Goldsmiths, Lincoln and MMU) – funded by ESRC Barrow Cadbury Trust for 5 years To provide research studentships, placements, vouchers and KTPs with Third Sector organisations groups A unique opportunity, despite challenges BUT the funding is running out in 2013 Current challenges for community-university research Universities face massive funding cuts BOTH for teaching AND research (with further cuts in 2012 with ￡9000 fees) Already adult, continuing and community education and outreach has been cut back/ eliminated in many universities along with cuts to widening participation Universities committed to outreach/ partnerships may be disproportionately affected Opportunities for coming period Both in Britain (e.g. CUPP, Brighton in Cluster) and internationally, there is still evidence of partnership working and commitment (with global networks) Universities DO still need to demonstrate commitment to communities to ‘research impact’ And students increasingly seek opportunities for research projects placements (to improve employability in difficult times) When well supervised supported they can provide valuable research inputs to communities In summary Pressures on universities colleges are increasing can be expected to increase further But there are still opportunities for developing community-university partnerships further As contributions today will demonstrate, if well supported, these partnerships can strengthen Third Sector organisations’ abilities to survive change and make change, with evidence demonstrating the value of what they do AND evidence upon which to develop their own strategies for survival and change
