Inclusion: Higher Education for All

March 2025 Newsletter

Did you know that...

Universities' Third Mission often misses the mark on inclusivity, sustainability, and accessibility?

Many marginalised communities face challenges accessing university outreach and lifelong learning programs, reducing higher education's societal impact. We champion inclusion by helping universities assess and strengthen their Third Mission initiatives to build fair, transparent, and accessible education systems. We also foster collaboration across diverse actors to build more open, inclusive education ecosystems.

BBM believes in the power of human connection. Through its Mentoring Outreach Programme, the project connects international students with local youth, fostering belonging, expanding perspectives, and shaping more inclusive communities.

RYR champions the power of collaboration to connect research, art, and society. By involving the public in creative exchanges between researchers and artists, the project fosters knowledge valorisation, ensuring knowledge is shared and applied. 

EDU4SDGs explores how equity, access, and empathy shape sustainable learning. We build inclusive learning spaces that foster emotional intelligence and value diverse perspectives. This lays the groundwork for education that drives sustainability forward for future generations and communities worldwide.

ACEEU Accreditation and Events

ACEEU promotes inclusion in higher education by recognising diverse forms of impact beyond traditional rankings. Our accreditation empowers universities to addressing inequality by championing Third Mission.

Traditional measures of university success often overlook societal impact and inclusion. Third Mission provides a framework to rethink excellence by emphasising social relevance and accessibility. ACEEU supports this shift by offering clear standards that help institutions align quality with their values through shared goals, diverse staffing, inclusive teaching, and accessible support systems.
