Dean's blog: External engagement – on whose terms?

"External engagement is part of the life-blood of LTH. We educate primarily for the business sector and wider society, although some of our students stay in academia. This provision of skills is, in my opinion, our most important assignment. We must therefore listen to the needs of our recipients – anything else would be wrong. This does not always mean that we should do what they say. Our job is to provide fundamental knowledge and a solid foundation for an entire future career.  Naturally, we are also to provide our students with cutting-edge expertise, and interweave education and research. In business the goals are sometimes more short term, and a balance must be established through a mutual understanding of our respective needs and assignments. Consequently, we are now taking stock of the collaboration taking place within our undergraduate programmes, and are organising advisory groups. We’re listening! However, when it comes to industry and other sectors it is not enough to simply think about the here and now – we must also consider the skills which will be needed in the future."
