UK: How HE can help businesses during downturn

A brochure outlining how universities and colleges can help businesses during an economic downturn was published last week by Universities UK, the representative body for higher education, and GuildHE. Standing Together: Universities helping business through the downturn, describes the kind of support institutions can offer employers including practical support for small and medium sized enterprises, consultancy services, research support, staff development and training courses, and strengthened partnerships.


Produced with assistance from the Higher Education Funding Council for England, the brochure provides case studies and lists a point of contact within more than 150 UK higher education institutions for businesses to find out more about how higher education and business support providers can help them.
