A forward-thinking European initiative with a team of partners who are passionate about the power and potential of technology and digital teaching to increase societal impact.
Our ambition is to create a step change and future proof how European universities engage with and deliver on their third mission.
The Social Impact Revolution is Here – why now is the time for the Digital Social Impact project!
Despite the argued relevance for more social engagement, societal engagement mechanisms have not been well developed in European HEIs. Universities still have relatively more technology transfer offices than civic engagement offices.
Consequently, universities’ business engagement remains a top priority compared to community building or collaborations with NGOs. This ultimately hampers the social impact of HEIs’ activities.
Research and develop high-quality digital teaching resources for HEI educators which will lead increased societal impact of HEI’s as Europe and beyond.
We need you to be part of our growing movement of universities embarking on digital teaching innovations to support social engagement and educate students for social impact?
