The 2019-2022 YU Strategy adopts a place-based approach and focuses on three priorities:
- Ideas – strengthening HE contributions towards increased research and innovation activity in the region;
- Talent – extending and deepening partnerships to improve higher level skills pathways into continuous development and learning;
- Communities – ensuring universities/HEIs are recognised as influential anchor institutions.
What do we mean by a place-based approach?
Our definition of a place-based approach, which underpins our mission and strategy, is a person centred, context-specific model designed to reflect the distinct needs of people, business and communities within and across Yorkshire and is driven by the principle of collaboration.
