Community engagement of higher education is about higher education institutions addressing societal needs and challenges through developing cooperation with relevant stakeholders from their communities, at the local and regional level, from the public, the business and the civil sector. IDE advocates for strengthening the social responsibility of higher education institutions through their active engagement in identifying and solving social challenges at the local, regional and national level and through the opening of cooperation with the community.
