About Engaged University

Integrating Talent, Innovation, and Place
Engaged Universities serve as dynamic catalysts in the ecosystem of regional development, highlighting innovative initiatives and sharing effective strategies for integrating the other core UEDA Pillars: Talent, Innovation, and Place. These institutions don’t just operate within their campuses—they extend their influence outward, playing a pivotal role in shaping vibrant, resilient communities. With a particular emphasis on fostering strong, intentional partnerships with surrounding community stakeholders, Engaged Universities actively co-create solutions to pressing local challenges, drive growth, and nurture a culture of collaboration that transcends traditional academic boundaries. Through this commitment, they exemplify what it means to be truly embedded in—and responsive to—the needs of their regions.
