Building Collaborative Partnerships…

Recognising the value of universities engaging with issues affecting the wider community and working with organisations to stimulate innovation, the Strategic Insight Programme (SIP) was launched to help university staff develop and build relationships with external partner organisations.

SIP is a pioneering, fully-funded project to develop these collaborative partnerships by funding short term placements of university staff into external organisations, to develop the skills and ‘real world’ experience of university staff and to:

SIP is a collaborative project fully funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) until July 2010.  Placements require no financial input from partner organisations, making it a low risk way of developing new links.

The four HE Institutions participating are:
