This report from UK think tank City-REDI aims to understand how universities are currently measuring their civic economic impact.
The purpose of this report is to understand how universities are currently measuring their civic economic impact. Universities are not fully embedding their civic economic impact within their strategic framework and decision making.
An economic impact assessment should be utilised by universities as an evidence base within their strategy and decision making for improving upon their civic economic agendas.
Going forward, civic university economic impact assessments need to be reframed as a dynamic, contextualised exercise that is part of the wider strategic decision-making process.
