Introduction to the consultation

The University is currently in the process of updating our Vision and Strategic Plan for the period of 2012 to 2017 – and as a member of the University community, we would like your input.

This follows initial discussion by external Council members, Senior Staff, Council and Faculty away days, alongside other workshops. As part of this consultative process, we will be seeking your views on the key strategic themes contained in the Strategic Plan – as follows:

Strategic Themes

  • Research
  • Student Experience and Achievement
  • Knowledge Exchange
  • International
  • Finance

Supporting Themes

  • Facilities and Sustainability
  • Student Selection and Access
  • Staff
  • Management and Governance
  • Regional Engagement

Timeline

A consultative process was completed during the academic year 2011-12 to revise and update the Vision together with the Strategic Themes and the Supporting Themes of the Strategic Plan.

Approval of the Strategic Plan by University Council (due July 2012) has been deferred, pending the arrival of the new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Anthony Forster.   

Please send all views, comments and feedback, along with any questions you may have about this consultation process, to the Planning Office at spconsultation@essex.ac.uk.
