The Modern Anchor Institution
Driving Undeniable Economic Impact and Reclaiming the Public Good Mantle
Partner Event
Join fellow Chief Research Officers for an engaging virtual event designed to address declining public confidence in higher education and redefine institutions as modern anchor organizations. ​This session will explore actionable strategies to align university priorities with external needs, fostering social mobility, economic development, and impactful community-centric research. ​We’ll also focus on the potential implications of the latest federal policy changes.
Key topics include:
- Scaling Research Impact: Explore ways to focus on applied, interdisciplinary research that addresses regional and industry-specific challenges while leveraging private funding. ​
- Driving Economic Development: Understand how public-private anchor networks can tackle local issues such as housing, workforce shortages, and neighborhood revitalization. ​
- Communicating Value: Gain insights into using dashboards and tailored impact reports to demonstrate ROI and community contributions effectively.
Attendees will leave this session with practical tools and frameworks to help institutions regain public trust, drive measurable outcomes, and strengthen their role as indispensable community partners.
Limited to Chief Research Officers and/or a designee. This content was also presented at the April 29 Special Joint Session for Provosts and Chief Research Officers.
