This document summarizes the findings of a global study on organizational structures that support community-university research partnerships (CURPs). The study included a global survey of 336 respondents from 53 countries as well as 12 case studies. Key findings include that most higher education institutions have created structures to support CURPs in the last 10 years, but there is still a large variation in how CURPs are conceptualized and practiced globally. National policies that explicitly include community engagement and research in higher education tend to encourage the institutionalization of CURPs. Specific funding programs and knowledge-sharing platforms at the national level also help strengthen CURPs. While many countries have made progress, true co-creation of knowledge and accountability to communities is still lacking in most partnerships.

Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) is a way of researching that takes a long-term perspective on the type of world in which we want to live. It can strengthen research projects by emphasising openness, transparency, diversity, inclusiveness and adaptation to changes. Essentially, RRI aims to create collaborative frameworks in which citizens engage with scientists, entrepreneurs, decisions makers and other groups to work towards sustainable, ethically acceptable and socially desirable outcomes.

Applying Human Rights Standards to Privatization of Education in UgandaPERIGlobal
Salima Namusobya works for the Initiative for Economic and Social Rights (ISER), a domestic NGO in Uganda which researches and advocates for the realisation of economic and social rights. ISER has been working on privatisation in education since August 2014.
In Uganda, about 80% of children attend private schools in the capital, Kampala. Across the country, private education is growing fast, including in low-income areas, where ‘low-cost’ private schools are mushrooming.
To better understand the situation, ISER conducted preliminary research in August 2014, involving interviews, a survey, literature review and statistical analysis. The aim of the research was to assess the situation against human rights principles, drawn from international law.
The results of this research have been discussed in workshops and presented in reports the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights and to the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR).
In this presentation Salima presents the initial results of ISER’s research, and discuss the list of issues that the CESCR released, as well what the political and social impacts. I

This presentation was delivered at IAFOR’s Asian Conference on Education and International Development (ACEID) 2017 in Kobe, Japan.
Presentation abstract:
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in an education context equitably involves teachers, pupils, community members, organisational representatives and researchers, with a commitment to sharing power and resources and drawing on the unique strengths that each partner brings. The aim through this approach is to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and integrate the knowledge gained into interventions, policy and social change to improve the health and quality of life of those in the school community. Sightsavers, a disability-focused iNGO, has been implementing a community-based participatory research approach (CBPR) within its education and social inclusion research in the global South. This paper describes the CBPR methodology, how it works within international development, and its impact on Sightsavers interventions in schools. Specific reference will be made to working with teachers as peer researchers – including those with disabilities, training material for peer researchers, CBPR ethical principles, and community analysis of data.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. Global Study on Organizational Structures of CURP
Methods and Outputs:
• Global web based survey - 336 responses from 53 countries in 4 languages.
• Respondents from HEI, CSO, funding agencies, and policy makers.
• 12 Country case studies
• Products: an e-book and a set of practical guidelines
• Open Access policies
W.Singh,
India
5. Key Survey Findings
• Global South data difficult to obtain
• Institutional investment in structures to support
CURPs
• Large variation in the language, conceptualization and
practice of these engagements
• ‘Knowledge cultures’ of CSOs and HEIs vary
tremendously
• Contradiction between professed commitment to co-
construction and practice of doing CBR (i.e. origins of
research, sharing of resources)
• Expressed need for building community capacity to
play equitable roles in the research partnerships
C.Wardhani,
Indonesia
6. Survey Highlights
Institutional supports
• Over 60% of HEIs identified have some
form of structure created within the last
10 years
• Over 60% of CSOs do not have access
to library and academic funding
opportunities
• Strong evidence for capacity at CSO level
• CSOs rely heavily on volunteers. More
then 65% of CSOs have between 1-20
volunteers

7. Survey Highlights
Role and Process of Partnership
• Co-creation of knowledge is a primary goal in
CURP (95%)
• Less then 15% of CURPs originate in the
community
• Participation in decision-making and
distribution of funds is predominantly
controlled by HEIs.
• There seems to be a trend in the decision-
making process of CSOs in the life-span of the
research partnership
• CSOs have higher participation in networking
and framing research agenda, and much less so
when it comes to administration in research
funding and data analysis.

8. Survey Highlights
Challenges and Recommendations
• Differences in timeline expectations (43.7%),
and participation of members (42.9%)
• Different nature of knowledge cultures and
diverse institutional processes that shape how
research partnerships function, and ideally,
flourish.
Training in CBR
• Over half the respondents have not had training
in CBR
• Most common training need is CBR
methodology
• including the philosophy and practice of co-
created knowledge and ways of increasing
equity in partnerships
• methods and tools in participatory research,
research design, data collection and analysis

9. Case studies
Two categories of countries:
1. Those where a clear national/provincial policy for such engagements
and partnerships already exist.
• Canada, South Africa, United Kingdom, Indonesia, Argentina, Netherlands,
United States, Brazil
2. Those countries where such policies are in the making and potential for
institutionalization of such policies is very high.
• India, Uganda, Ireland, Jordan
• Existing policies and funding mechanisms reviewed in each country
• 2 HEI and 2 CSO selected for institutional review

1. When overall policy framework at national/provincial levels positions
Higher Education (HE) as contribution to socio-economic
transformation, there is greater readiness to accept Community
Engagement (CE) as an integral part of the mandate.
• Argentina's education policy explicitly recognize S-L as an innovative approach
• Brazil’s ‘Citizen Constitution’, promoted the right to education, work/decent wage
and social security.
• Indonesia ‘Tri Darma Perguruan Tinggi” (three virtues of HE)
• India’s Kothari Commission Report called for ‘expansion of higher education to
meet the requirements of the nation’
• Post apartheid South African policies ‘committed higher education to a process of
transformation in the spirit of an open and democratic society based on human
dignity, equality and freedom.

2. Explicit inclusion of CE in national policy is a more recent
phenomenon in most countries, and it encourages HEIs to institutionalize
CE.
• Argentina’s enactment of the National Educational Act in 2006
• Brazilian Educational Law (1996) states that ‘for any HEI to be called a
University, it has to develop extension activities alongside teaching and research.
• The institutionalization era for CBR in Canada ranges from the year 1998 to
2012 (e.g.SSHRC CURA)
• By 2000, Indonesia’s Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN; Students’ Community
Engagement) narrowed to programs that initiate or drive social change
• India’s 12th plan guidelines (2012-2017), the Planning Commission rolled out
a scheme for establishment of a Centre for Fostering Social Responsibility and
Community Engagement (CFSRCE) in universities.

3. Policy statements on CE in HE do not mention research explicitly; in
its absence, other forms of engagement are more common.
• Argentina’s S-L is course based, credit bearing form of experiential education
• UK’s 2008 ‘Beacons for Public Engagement’ initiative was a major culture
change in HEI
• CE activities in Canada are broadly manifested under the umbrella term of
‘CBR’, which explicitly provides for joint research with the communities for
achieving mutual benefits.
• Indonesian case presents one of the few examples wherein CE explicitly
includes the term ‘research’ (LPPM; Institute of Research and Community
Engagement).
• India’s overarching framework includes experiential learning (such as S-L), and
research.

4. Where explicit focus on research in CE is encouraged through funding
councils/schemes, HEIs engage in building research as a part of
community engagement plans/activities.
• Brazil has substantially increased programs and investments in innovation -
‘incubators’
• ‘In the year 2014, SSHRC made $337 million worth of grants to 8674
projects. Of this, $120 million went to Aboriginal research grants.
• National Research Foundation established a number of funded South African
Research Chairs (SARChI) dealing with matters of social responsibility in
higher education
• UK’s Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF) and the Catalysts for Public
Engagement (2011) fund (8 universities)
14. Comparative

5. Principles of mutuality and co-construction of
knowledge with community is not explicitly
incentivized in such funding mechanisms.
Some examples where it is explicit:
• Canada SSHRC CURA ‘co-construction of
knowledge as a product of the alliances’, focus of
research to be ‘partnership’.
• Netherlands, CE carried out in research is mostly
done as commissioned or co-operative research –
Science Shop model
• UK’s Connected Communities funding program
gives importance to the crucial parameter of
mutuality in CBR projects

6. National platforms for knowledge sharing of
CE with focus on research generate greater
momentum at national/provincial levels.
• Canada has five national networks that
support CBR
• Indonesia has five Regional FlipMas (Forum
Layanan Ipteks bagi Masyarakat)
• India’s National University Rankings for the HEIs
includes social responsibility
• SA university councils to report on social impact
of HEIs

7. When government creates a focal
office on CE, HEIs take it seriously
and practices get institutionalized.
• Indonesia’s Community Engagement
Grants (CEGs).
• India’s new CE scheme has provided for
the establishment of a focal Centre which
will oversee all CE activities in the
University
• South Africa’s regulations for annual
institutional reporting to the Ministry on
community impact

8. Separate and explicit funding schemes for CE in research enable use of
resources in building CURPs at institutional levels.
• SSHRCs focused funding support has resulted in use of stipulated resources
for building CURPs at the institutional level in Canada (e.g. OCBR (Uvic),
(SAC) at UQAM)
• UK Research Councils and the Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF)
have helped to consolidate engagement activities across the HEIs
• Ireland’s Higher Education Authority awards funding for CBR and other areas
aligned to civic engagement.

9. Very few such CE structures within HEIs are co-
governed with community representatives, and mostly
remain within the unilateral control of HEI
administration
• University of Sao Paulo – PSWM project co-
managed
• University of Victoria, ISICUE is jointly steered by
university and community leaders
• UQAM, SAC mandates the execution of joint
research projects with NGOs
• Rhodes University (SA), representation of external

10. Provision of awards, recognitions and
accreditations of universities for engaging in CE
activities further incentivizes CUE.
• Argentina, National Ministry of Education
(NME) created Presidential prize ‘Solidarity
School’
• Brazil uses tax exemption to motivate universities
with philanthropic status to play a civic role in
society
• Uvic’s Engaged Scholar awards for distinguished
professorship to recognize excellence CER
• Indonesia and India, CE is an important element
in National Accreditation of HEIs
L,
Mcllrath,
Ireland
20. Some
Conclusions
• When national policy creates formal expectations to promote CE,
HEIs tend to show greater readiness; earmarked funding for CE further
facilitates CE by HEIs
• Top leadership of Ministries/HEIs can have huge impacts on
promotion of CE in general, and CURPs in particular; by prioritising
CE in research functions
• Middle level leadership—Deans, Centre Directors, Professors—and
student leaders can nurture and operationalise CE by championing
these in their faculty, centre, association
• Even with monitoring mechanisms, accountability to communities and
reporting to civil society is not a common practice at all
21. Some
Conclusions
• Long term commitment is required to
institutionalise such practice; 5-10 year
partnerships is critical
• Investing in CB of students and faculty at HEIs in
CBPR methodologies is critically missing
• In general, civil society has shied away from
demanding greater responsiveness and
accountability from HEIs in various countries
around the world
• The mind-set in HEIs continues to negate
community knowledge and practitioner expertise;
• widespread systematisation of practitioner
knowledge and sensitisation of next generation of
researchers can make a difference
