Our Strategy
Further information about the University and our Strategic Plan 2020-2030, can be found here: https://spotlight.leeds.ac.uk/strategy/
Our strategy identifies three core areas of focus:
• Culture – recognising that collaboration rather than competition is fundamental to yielding excellence in research, education and societal impact. • Community – recognising the importance of diversity, partnership and innovation in forging strong communities internally and externally. • Impact – recognising the need to develop the next generation of global citizens and to focus our research efforts on areas in which we can be truly globally leading, while harnessing the potential of digital innovation to enhance both.
Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation is a fundamental strategic priority for the University of Leeds. Our ambition is to become a global leader in the use of digital technologies, data and digital approaches to support student education, global lifelong learning, research and innovation and ways of working, and as a centre for the digital transformation of education and research. Our aim is to become an innovative leader in the use of digital technology, data and digital approaches, working in effective partnerships with other universities, businesses and organisations, to solve global challenges. We already have a great track record in digital transformation, but there are many more opportunities for us to embrace and an exciting journey ahead. By digital transformation, we do not just mean technology or data, but critically encompassing culture, people, processes and impact. For our University, digital transformation
will be crosscutting across our core business of education and research, and our ways of working. In education, it is about understanding and harnessing the potential affordances of digital technologies to enhance and enrich the education and experience we offer to students studying on campus, in hybrid modes and online, and offering learning opportunities to individuals globally, to support lifelong learning and professional learning. In research, it is about ensuring we have best of breed technologies and platforms to support cutting-edge activities, provide an environment where we can innovate, co-create and embed new and emerging technologies to solve global challenges, build strong bridges between research and education, and create a research-informed evidence-base of the positive and negative impacts of digital technologies.
