Partnerships

Sea of hands.

The Environmental Sustainability Research Centre aims to be at the cutting edge of research by matching academic researchers and community groups through innovative partnerships. These partnerships will have lasting impacts on the environment and communities, which surround Brock University.

“Our innovative partnerships are central to the ESRC’s work. These partnerships promote research that has positive impacts on practice and policy; they create meaningful opportunities for students to build skills and engage with partners in problem-solving; and, they mobilize our efforts to address urgent problems in support of environmental sustainability. – Dr. Julia Baird, Director of the ESRC

Assessing Partnership Performance, Monitoring, & Evaluation

HEI-community partnerships are an integral part of the ESRC as well as a strategic emphasis of Brock University. Members of the ESRC have correspondingly launched an initiative to advance knowledge and practice of formal HEI-community partnerships. This program of work offers important and timely advancements to HEI-community partnerships in the era of accountability, performance-based funding and change.
