Collaboration

The 14 Higher Education Institutions in South West England play a major part in the region's economy.

We work with individual institutions and through their regional association, Universities South West, to maximise their impact on the economy to improve innovation, skills and enterprise in the region's businesses.  We also work with other agencies in the sector, such as the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), to ensure that our investments are made strategically in tune with the major funder of higher education.
