Description
Community University Partnerships in Sweden
University of Brighton, Falmer campus, Checkland Building E424, 12.30-1.30pm
Colleagues from Malardalen University in Sweden talk about their substantial partnership with their local area, Vasteras.
Malardalen University (MDH) is one of Sweden’s youngest Universities. It has chosen to contribute in depth to the development of the region where it´s situated. Professor Johan Wennhall and his colleagues will briefly give an overview of the Swedish context of higher education and the efforts made at MDH to contribute to the development of business and community. They will also pin point and present an effort made jointly by the local authorities and the university to create an infrastructure for collaboration (the Social Contract). Their presentation will furthermore include a discussion about funding issues concerning contributions to economy and society, and how to measure effects and accountability.
How can universities support disadvantaged communities?
A Joseph Rowntree Foundation Study led by Prof Robinson, St Chad’s College Durham
University of Brighton, Falmer campus, Checkland Building E424, 1.30-2.30pm
Professor Fred Robinson and Ian Zass-Ogilvie (Research Fellow) present this important study that has looked at community engagement activity in universities across the United Kingdom. They will report on the progress of this year-long project which is approximately 50% complete and after an initial postal survey (achieving an 85% return) will be moving into the production of case studies – beginning with University of Brighton.

Description
Making your way to Falmer
Due to the severe shortage of parking spaces on the Falmer site, we recommend that delegates travel to the event by public transport if at all possible.
If you need parking then please contact Suze Cruttwell This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your car registration number and she will see if any visitor parking spaces are available.
The Falmer campus is approximately 7 km from Brighton city centre. Cycle lanes run from Falmer to the city centre. Falmer railway station is a short walk, Moulsecoomb is one stop away and Brighton mainline station three. There is a frequent bus service into central Brighton.
Car parking on campus is limited and a parking permit is required to park on the site. Permits are only given to drivers who can demonstrate that car travel is essential. A free shuttle bus operates from Varley, and a Park and Ride scheme from Moulsecoomb.
By bike
- Cycle lanes run from the city centre along the A270 Lewes Road to Falmer. Cycle stands monitored by CCTV are provided on site.
By bus
- The 25, 25A and 25C connect the Falmer campus with the centre of Brighton. The 25A then goes on to Hove and Portslade. The 25C links Falmer with east Brighton including Kemptown, the Royal Sussex hospital and the Marina.
- Visit the Brighton and Hove Company website for timetables and more on special ticket deals for students.
By train
- There are up to four trains an hour from Moulsecoomb to Falmer (4 minutes journey time), two an hour direct to Eastbourne (35 minutes journey time) and regular direct and connecting services to Hastings (70 minutes average journey time).
- Visit the National Rail Enquiries website for timetables and passenger information.
- Due to construction work, access for wheelchair access will no longer be available from the platform adjacent to the university, i.e. Brighton bound. Instead, a free taxi pick-up and drop-off service will now operate from the station side, i.e. Lewes bound. You can find out more about temporary disabled access to Falmer here.
Park and Ride
- There is a Park and Ride service from Moulsecoomb to the Falmer campus. The Park and Ride spaces are marked with a thick blue line and can be found in the Watts north car park.
