Abstract

The aim of this research project was to explore links and partnerships between EHU and its staff with schools, colleges and academies. More specifically, we addressed the following research questions: 1. What links are there currently between EHU and schools and colleges? 2. How are links and partnerships developed initially and maintained/sustained over time? 3. What are the positive benefits or impact of these links for students, staff, schools/colleges, EHU and other stakeholders? 4. How can links move from projects to whole school/college-institution partnerships? 5. What factors contribute to the development of an effective strategic partnership?
