<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Universities for Nottingham launched yesterday morning<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yesterday morning at a packed event of civic stakeholder in BioCity, the Vice-Chancellor launched the <a href="https://www.universitiesfornottingham.ac.uk/"><span style="color:#005597">Universities for Nottingham</span></a>,<span style="color:#333333">
</span>a pioneering collaboration between the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University. The aim is to bring together the combined strengths and civic missions of our two universities to help drive prosperity and opportunity across our local
area.<o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Together with Nottingham Trent University, we have undertaken a joint economic, social and cultural impact study – and explored where we might be able to join-up our local programmes
and activity. Drawing on the recommendations of the </span><a href="https://upp-foundation.org/civic-university-commission/"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#005597">UPP Civic University Commission</span></a><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#333333">,
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">this work will provide the foundation for a new approach to how we work with each other and with our local partners to help change the lives of people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
The idea is to try use a process of consultation and co-curation with both unis and our civic partners to identify and priorities a series of significant, solution-oriented and multilateral initiatives to help address local challenges. These will then be codified
into a formal ‘Universities for Nottingham Civic Agreement’ – something we hope will give greater clarity, structure and purpose to what we do locally with our partners.

<p class="MsoNormal">There will be <a href="https://exchange.nottingham.ac.uk/blog/universities-for-nottingham-major-new-civic-collaboration-with-nottingham-trent-university/">
plenty of opportunity for colleagues</a> across the University to get engaged with the initiative. It is being led by the
<a href="https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/about/government-relations/index.aspx">Global and Political Affairs Unit</a> in External Relations and we are working with the Institute for Policy and Engagement to consider the best way to do this in terms of research
impact and public engagement. We’ll be doing a series of roadshows over the next few months to talk more about it – and potential establish a UoN internal network for those interested in the civic agenda. But for now, if you’re interested in learning more
about UfN – you can get in touch with <a href="mailto:amy.williams@nottingham.ac.uk">
amy.williams@nottingham.ac.uk</a>. Do please cascade to any colleagues you think might be interested.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, it is worth stressing that, whilst the Universities for Nottingham is a significant initiative, it is by no means intended as the totality of our strategic approach to the civic agenda, which is likely to be much broader. Work
to define this approach is underway – led by the University’s Civic and Regional Committee, chaired by Professor Kevin Shakesheff, Faculty-PVC Science and UEB lead for Civic – as part of the new University’s Strategy.
