6.3 Community partnership assessment
Publication that includes the community partnership guidelines:
Online resource that includes the institution’s community partnership guidelines:
Are all of the institution’s community partnerships for sustainability subject to an assessment process that includes joint evaluation by the institution and its community partners?:
Description of the institution’s approach to community partnership assessment and how the results are used to improve reciprocity and mutual benefit:
We don't have sight of 'all of TU Dublin’s community partnerships for sustainability'.
In the SLWC+ pilot programme (Ref1) run by Societal Engagement with Sustainability Education and Strategic Partnerships, a statement of reciprocity, is included in the Collaboration Agreement and forms the basis of co-evaluation of the programme with the collaboration partner. This is not publicly accessible though as it is the first time we have run this and have emphasised mutual benefit and reciprocity in this way and designed in co-evaluation.
