Lead Academic Network
The Lead Academic Network is the mechanism employed by NWUA to facilitate
regional higher education (HE) engagement at a strategic level across the six
regional cluster priorities as identified in the
Regional Economic Strategy 2006, and the North West’s Sector Skills
& Productivity Alliances (SSPA) priority sectors. This mechanism includes a
Lead Academic and an electronic network of academics for each cluster/sector,
supported by a NWUA Lead Officer.
The Lead Academic Network has two key objectives:
-
To provide a cluster/sector-specific communication mechanism to academics
-
To provide a framework to enable HE response and engagement with major
cluster/sector initiatives and developments
NWUA Officers work proactively with Lead Academics, members of the electronic
network, and other regional partners across a broad range of activities
including the coordination of expert input into regional strategies and
initiatives, development of cluster/sector related resources, and collation and
dissemination of cluster specific information.
