Incredibly valuable piece of research from the Higher Education Policy Institute determining the income levels needed for students to live, not merely survive! With an £8.5k gap opening up between what is being offered in government maintenance support and what is needed to participate as a full-time student, part-time work invariably fills the void. Supporting students to accommodate growing work commitments around their studies needs to be sector priority. #parttimework #studentworkinglives #highereducation #hepolicy

- University students in England are experiencing a "cost of learning crisis," with government maintenance support covering the smallest percentage of living expenses in at least ten years. - Students eligible for maximum loan support face an £8,400 annual shortfall against the minimum income standard necessary for societal participation. - Maintenance loans have diminished in real value due to inflation, covering only 55% of the minimum income standard outside London and 61% within London, as of the 2024-25 academic year. - The gap between the cost of living and maintenance support is widening, causing greater financial pressures on students, particularly from lower and middle-income families. Without additional parental or external support, students would need to work 19 hours per week at minimum wage to meet the basic income standard, potentially affecting their studies.

The challenges and opportunities for the sector over the next decade Last summer, we held a roundtable with some PBSA experts to look at investment in the sector, innovations to design, and changes to policy. The session was facilitated by Aceil Haddad from MATT PR, with Elizabeth Jackson and Tom Forder from LOFT.uk Martin Hadland from Students First Group, Rupert Goddard from Sheppard Robson and Scott Blakeway from Fjeld Consulting. Some of the key points to come out of this session: 🟣 There is steady confidence in student accommodation – but its continued success rests on whether it can diversify. 🟣 There needs to be investment in innovation and design – which brings with it some risk along with huge potential reward. 🟣 With students being tech-literate, developers and operators need to utilise technology to support the Environment, as well as the Social and Governance demanded. 🟣 The UK housing crisis includes student accommodation, and with the PBSA sector best suited to offer housing outside of the university campus, it is a huge growth area in the right aspect of the market. 🟣 The pressure on the sector from the ESG agenda from investors, developers, and end-users from design process through to procurement and day-to-day usage. 🟣 Our research in 2022 found that most students didn’t want to pay more for amenities such as dining rooms, cinema rooms or even gyms. “But it shouldn’t be a high-end product, especially considering the lower end of the market is being stretched with HMO beds coming out of the market, and first-generation refurbs. A fresh look needs to be adopted for utilising design and technology aided with the support of policy changes.” - Sarah Canning. #PBSA #Challenges #Roundtable

We have recently been celebrating the 10-year anniversary of our thriving partnership with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) – and what better way to underscore the vibrancy of this #collaboration than with the announcement of $600,000 of joint research funding? 👏 Known as the BRIDGE Alliance, this longstanding relationship has generated 115 collaborative projects tackling major global challenges. The initiative will continue to flourish with $400,000 to be invested in establishing strategic research partnerships with the Global South, focusing on #GlobalHealth, #sustainability, education access and #equity, as well as $200,000 committed to the annual BRIDGE Seed Fund to energise further new projects. The announcement was made during a recent visit of senior leaders from UIUC, during which we not only celebrated a decade of impactful work together, but set out this ambitious vision for the next stage in our partnership. Speaking about the Alliance, University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Adam Tickell said: “Building on such strong foundations, we look forward to developing close working partnerships with research institutions across the Global South that will enhance people’s lives by delivering innovative research in sustainability, education equity and global health.” Find out more about this exciting new vision here: https://lnkd.in/exvnsVyX

IUT demands an EU fund for Housing for the common good, and not for profit! Today at EESC, Commissioner Nicolas Schmit remarked that market only solutions haven’t worked so far and when something doesn’t work, we should try with something new. The Housing market is no longer a housing market but it has become a financial asset market. As IUT, we demand that Europe should not be sold out. We demand the definancialization of the Housing sector for the protection of the tenants. #housing #EESC Barbara Steenbergen Johan Mirtorp https://lnkd.in/db-RmDiH

KE&I Collaboration Manager. Connecting people, encouraging collaboration, enabling collective engagement with wider sector, and raising profile of KE, innovation, and enterprise from Scotland's universities.
We made this video last September, at our 'Deep Dive into Collaborative R&D' workshop, which brought together the Challenge Fund Network, Innovation Centres, and Research Pools, to have a conversation about how we're seeding new collaborations and influencing funding and policy. The Challenge Fund Network is a peer network for Business Development Managers from Scotland's universities. It first formed back in 2017 after the UK Gov/UKRI launched the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF). In more recent times, we've turned our focus to Scotland's National Innovation Strategy, considering the critical role our universities play when it comes to leading innovation, driving skills, and promoting economic growth across Scotland. I'm keen to evolve these strands in coming months, but it's no mean feat; the sector involves lots of complex organisations, with sometimes competing agendas, and often a lack of transparency. I'll do my bit to unpick that, or at least try! I see the people in this video as some of the essential ecosystem builders and innovation enablers that are at the heart of Scotland's ambitious future. I'm excited to see where these conversations take us. The Scottish Government #InnovationStrategy #InnovationClusters #EconomicGrowth #Collaboration #Innovation Innovation Centres in the room: Built Environment - Smarter Transformation CENSIS The Data Lab - Innovation Centre Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre Sustainable Aquaculture Innovation Centre Research Pools: SULSA - Scottish Universities Life Sciences Alliance and, most importantly, the people!

Scotland's Universities and Innovation Centres see collaboration as a fundamental element to succeed. SFC's investments aim to create transformational collaborations between universities; colleges; and the public and private sector Full video 📽️: https://lnkd.in/eQ2wxRit
