Themes

1. Higher Education provision and its contribution to community development: contributions may be economic, social, health-related, environmental or cultural, or a combination of one or more of these. ‘Community’ in this context may vary from one small discrete group through to a whole region.

2. Aimhigher and its Legacy: whilst this is a particular concern in England, papers are invited also from other parts of the world where there are similar initiatives: these may take the form of reflective pieces from an external perspective.

3. The role of Qualifications Frameworks and Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) within community settings.

4. Universities and their regional and local role within contracting economies.
