| Abstract | The University of Derby is the only higher education institution in Derbyshire, and the University’s Strategic Framework articulates the University’s role to ‘open doors’ and ‘be a force for positive impact’ on the economic, social, cultural, educational and environmental prosperity of the city and region. This chapter examines the ways in which the University delivers social mobility and regional development through its holistic approach to enabling student and graduate talent, delivering impactful innovation and research activity, and supporting wider partnership work across the region. In so doing, it demonstrates the valuable role of higher education in place-based interventions that link widening access, innovation and research, and partnership working to improve livelihoods and opportunities. |
