Abstract

The EU-funded project Towards a European Framework for Community Engagement in Higher Education (TEFCE, www.tefce. eu) sought to develop innovative and feasible policy tools at the university and European level for supporting, monitoring and assessing the community engagement of universities. It defined community engagement as a process whereby universities engage with external organisations to undertake joint activities that can be mutually beneficial, even if each side benefits in a different way. The TEFCE Project was a pilot initiative that began in Dublin Institute of Technology and was focused only on that institution initially. Following the formation of TU Dublin, the project undertook a scanning of community engagement activities on campus locations other than City Campus, but time and resources did not allow a detailed review. This report acknowledges that it does not capture the significant number of excellent community engagement activities that are happening across TU Dublin and that the main focus of the report regarding the pilot project relates principally to activities based on the City Centre campus.
