The Plan is a product of partnership collaboration, which maps how public, private and voluntary sector organisations in the East Midlands are putting their resource behind delivering the 59 priority actions identified in the RES. It is proposed that this will be updated periodically and reissued at least every two years. How was the plan developed? The Implementation Plan is primarily informed through bilateral discussions with partners and groups representing partner organisations. This is supported by analysis to check priority actions against existing business and delivery plans of partners. A total of 92 organisations were initially invited to contribute to the Implementation Plan. This does not include local authority district councils, whose contribution was coordinated by Local Government East Midlands, and is presented as an appendix to this plan. A total of 86 organisations have responded in detail and discussions are continuing with many others. These responses have been edited and collated into this single Implementation Plan. Using the Implementation Plan The RES Implementation Plan is organised by the 59 Priority Actions identified in the Regional Economic Strategy. It identifies many of the partners who will assist in delivering the RES, the actions they will undertake, the resources allocated to those activities, and the timescale of this investment. It should be noted that this does not detail all partners who will play a crucial role in delivering the strategy, but identifies those partners who can make an identifiable financial contribution. Figure 1 – Format of the Implementation Plan 3 Issue Number 1 January 2007 Links to Local Area Delivery In addition to the 86 contributions listed within this Plan (which include County and Unitary Authorities) we also received responses from 15 Local Authority districts. These responses have been collated separately by Local Government East Midlands and are presented as a separate 60 page appendix document. This forms a companion document to this Implementation Plan. Sub regional Investment Plans Following the publication of the revised Regional Economic Strategy, each of the seven Sub Regional Strategic Partnership (SSPs) have produced three-year Sub-regional Investment Plans (SRIP). The purpose of the SRIP is to outline to stakeholders and partners the key strategic objectives that each SSP will seek to address over the 2007-10 financial period, and to highlight the types of economic activity that they will look to develop and support within each of their sub-regions. As SSPs are funded directly through emda we have decided to not reflect their activities within the Implementation Plan, therefore reducing the potential double count of resources. We do however encourage partners to refer to the Sub Regional Investment Plans alongside the RES Implementation Plan. Urban and Rural Linkages Rural areas and businesses have a distinctive and important contribution to make to sustainable economic growth across the region, so all strategic priority actions in this plan apply equally to both rural and rural areas, except where there is an explicit urban focus. More detail on the distinctive rural dimensions of implementing the RES can be found in the East Midlands Rural Action Plan being produced through the East Midlands Rural Affairs Forum (EMRAF) and published in January 2007. The Implementation Plan also has clear links to the Urban Action Plan (UAP). This is produced by the Regional Urban Partnership Group and is the key delivery plan for the region’s urban areas. The UAP will be reviewed against the priorities of the new RES over the next 12 months, and this later revision will be reflected in future iterations of the Implementation Plan. Next Steps The Regional Coordination Forum Steering Group (RCFSG), will play a role in the future monitoring of the implementation Plan with ongoing support from emda. Member organisations of this group include GOEM, emda, LSC, EMRA, Job Centre Plus and East Midlands NHS. The exact role being played by the RCFSG will be discussed and finalised over the coming months. The Implementation Plan will be reviewed and updated every two years, with support from emda. 4 Issue Number 1 January 2007 1B) Contributors to the RES Implementation Plan Successful development of the RES Implementation Plan has only been possible through the support of a wide range of stakeholders in the region.

  • Leicester Student Voice Report

    Leicester Student Voice Report

    Leicester Student Voice Executive report February 2020 Foreword This report sets out the findings of a ‘Leicester Student Voice’ event organised jointly by Leicester City Council, De Montfort University and the University of Leicester. The research forms part of a three-year partnership project aimed at increasing the proportion of local graduates who stay in Leicester to begin their career. In 2017, an average of 28% of graduates from Leicester’s two city universities stayed to live and work locally, compared to a national average of 48.4%. Retaining graduate talent is critical for the success of city economies like Leicester as the UK continues to specialise in ever more high-skilled, knowledge intensive activities. The Leicester Graduate Retention partnership will identify and implement actions aimed at influencing students to stay in Leicester and progress on to high-skilled career pathways with locally-based businesses, including support for start-up activity. 2 The Project actions will be determined based on hearing the student and business voice throughout the project, as critical stakeholders for developing meaningful change. The project team wishes to thank the students who willingly offered their time, experiences and ideas at the Leicester Student Voice event.

    Muslim Women in Higher Education Institutions in Britain ESRC DTP Joint Studentship Loughborough University and Warwick University The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). One of 14 such partnerships in the UK, the Midlands Graduate School is a collaboration between the University of Warwick, Aston University, University of Birmingham, University of Leicester, Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham. We are now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Joint Studentship between Loughborough University (where the student will be registered) and our partner Warwick University to commence in October 2021. The Project The PhD research project investigates opportunities and barriers to academic citizenship among Muslim women doctoral students, researchers and academics in British higher education institutions (HEIs). Citizenship is viewed in a broad sense and covers issues of recognition, participation and belonging. The project brings intersectional and spatial dimensions of HEIs to the fore in its analysis of Muslim women’s academic citizenship. The overall goal is to examine Muslim women’s experiences of barriers and opportunities, focusing on the career stages of PGRs, researchers and academics, with a view to producing policy-relevant knowledge that can support and enhance Muslim women’s participation, belonging and success in higher education institutions. Key research questions ask which institutional-level barriers and opportunities to academic research are experienced by Muslim women in HEIs; which individual-level and broader societal factors that may progress or hinder Muslim women’s academic careers in HEIs, and what best-practice policies and strategies can support Muslim women in HEIs.
