While engaged universities have strived to ensure that engagement with communities is mutually beneficial, the lack of a cohesive and sustained agenda of engagement has sometimes led to mixed results for all involved
The new generations of faculty and staff should give us all a sense of optimism and a new inspiration to deepen collaboration and engagement within and beyond our university borders. This volume of Gateways contributes to this vision of greater public impact through institutional change processes by presenting diverse articles that reveal new strategies for academic organisational and culture change, wider access to academic research, collaborative research models and new views of internal and external partnerships
