Vision
United in ambition and place-based purpose, we are committed to deepening collaboration, breaking down barriers to opportunity and delivering inclusive growth and prosperity. We will be a unified voice advocating for the HE sector and the North East region.
Mission
As anchors of knowledge, innovation and opportunity, our universities play a crucial role in driving regional economic growth as well as the educational, social and cultural success of our region. We are working to make our universities more accessible for study, business, innovation and investment, while providing valuable evidence-based regional insight to inform national higher education policy. Through our combined strengths and the power of our collective voice we will help to shape a more prosperous and resilient future for the North East of England.
