Following on from We Are Together, which highlighted our members’ contributions during the pandemic, Getting Results focuses on how universities will help the country bounce back stronger in the next five years.
Campaign content has reached over 10 million social media users, generating 36,000 likes, comments and shares. Politicians across the UK have shown their support for the campaign.
Our launch in May 2021 aimed to showcase the key role UK universities are set to play in the economic and social recovery from Covid-19.
We set out how university partnerships can create thousands of jobs, new businesses, and prosperity across the UK over the coming years. Universities renewed their commitment to work closely with a wide range of organisations and seek out new partnerships nationally and locally, to deliver the greatest impact possible.
Alongside our campaign work, we published ‘Universities and the UK’s economic recovery: an analysis of future impact’, a report by the National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education (NCEE).
For the next phase in October 2021, we showcased how universities are working closely with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to boost economic growth across the country. We aimed to remind politicians about the importance of universities in building the future workforce, levelling up and enterprise.
We featured success stories and insights on our website and across our social media channels.
