Guide to Developing a Civic University Agreement

This comprehensive guide from the Civic University Network supports higher education institutions in developing a Civic University Agreement (CUA) – a shared civic strategy co‑created with local partners.

It explains the motivations for a CUA, offers a step‑by‑step process (developing the approach, striking the agreement, and delivering it), and links to real UK examples and policy context to help universities demonstrate their contribution as anchor institutions.
