Resources: sharing learning

CUPP has been establishing partnerships for almost two decades. This work has enabled us to develop a substantial knowledge base on how communities and universities can work well together. 

Explore our CUPP films

Research has underpinned our work at CUPP as this enables us to continue to learn and reflect on our practice. Evaluation of past programmes continue to inform the development of new ones. This research has enabled us, with our community and university partners, to produce a range of reports, papers, books and films. We have also developed training programmes and courses that capture our learning.

This collection of resources will help practitioners and academics gain insights into community-university working practices we have under taken at CUPP. These practical publications showcase projects through their life-cycles and offer guidance that supports those wishing to work in partnership with the university. 

There is no doubt that the 91¶¶Òõ plays a global leadership role in partnership research. We appreciate learning about the diversity of excellence through CUPP
