Information for staff

Would you like to get involved in Cupp's On Our Doorsteps programme?

The programme is based on three main ideas:

• the mutual benefit achieve through community-university partnership
• a focus on activities within the immediate localities of University of Brighton buildings.

University of Brighton staff can get involved with the On Our Doorsteps programme in a number of ways. Go to the On Our Doorsteps section for more information.

Are you looking for research partners in the local community?

Cupp supports the development of research partnership projects between the academic staff of the University of Brighton and local community organisations. If you are looking for a community partner who works in your area of research, contact the Cupp Helpdesk for more information.

Would you like to offer research advice to local community organisations?

The Cupp Helpdesk receives many enquiries from community organisations asking for advice and assistance with the development of research projects. This is often the beginning of long term mutually beneficial relationships between a community organisation and the university. If you would be interested to get involved in sharing your research expertise with the local community, please contact the Cupp Helpdesk for further information.  

Would you like to develop a course incorporating community engagement?

At Cupp we devote part of our resources to supporting others to develop discipline specific Student Community Engagement courses. For more information, please go to our Student Community Engagement section or contact Dr Juliet Millican - Student Community Engagement Development Manager.

Would you like to support students in undertaking community research?

We are always keen to hear from course leaders who would like to offer live research projects to their students or lecturers who are willing to supervise a community based research project.
For more information, please go to our Student Community Engagement section or contact Dr Juliet Millican - Student Community Engagement Development Manager.

Would you like to volunteer in your local community?

Would you like to get involved with activities in your local community? Are you interested in volunteering but feel you don’t have enough spare time? If so, the university’s new Staff Volunteering scheme might just be the right thing for you!
