Community University Partnership Programme (Cupp)

Community-university partnerships make a difference. They enrich teaching and the student experience, offer innovative ways of engaging communities with research, and provide tangible benefits for local people.

The University of Brighton has a longstanding research programme to develop such knowledge partnerships through our pioneering Community University Partnership Programme, known as CUPP.

Our partnership projects, underpinned by co-production, combine community and university knowledge and experience, and help to address social disadvantage and build sustainable communities.
