A new campaign is highlighting how the 12 universities in the University Alliance, which Oxford Brookes and Anglia Ruskin University are part of, will help with the national economic, social and cultural recovery from COVID-19.
The University Alliance represents professional and technical universities. Its 12 universities train nearly a quarter of the nation’s nurses and support almost 24,000 businesses with consultancy, facilities and research.
The campaign, Powering the UK’s Future, highlights how Alliance universities will use their critical role within the NHS and public services, support for businesses, locally-rooted research and innovation, and partnership with industry to find solutions to the economic and social challenges we all face.
Calling for higher education to be positioned and funded as a major asset for the nation’s recovery, University Alliance have released a set of high-level policy asks which could enhance universities’ contribution to the national economic, social and cultural recovery.
“We’re proud to be a modern and innovative university in the heart of a traditional seat of learning in Oxford. With our community connections, business support, local partnerships and industry-ready graduates, we continue to make a difference.”
