CU Expo 2011 showcased the exemplars in community-university partnerships worldwide, and explored and introduced creative ways of strengthening our local communities.

Who is attending?

The conference drew over 800 people from Canada and around the world who are passionate about the power of community-university partnerships as a vehicle for social change. Students, community leaders, researchers, educators, funders, policy makers and others invested in community-building were in attendance.

Why focus on community and university partnerships?

Complex social issues require global perspectives to inform local action. Community-University partnerships can be an effective way to stimulate innovative solutions for the pressing concerns within our communities. The potential for such solutions is maximized when diverse partners come together to re-imagine the relationship between the academy and the community, and in the process create new possibilities.
