Partnership working and collaboration. Obtaining funding to undertake collaborative research is extremely important for both establishing and maintaining our European partnerships. The University has a specialised European Team to maximise the return obtained from European Funding sources, particularly Horizon 2020. The University has so far received around €44M in awards from Horizon 2020 for around 70 projects. Over 50% of these projects are large cross-European networks. In order to strengthen both our European collaborations and increase our influence on European policy decisions, the University is a founding member and has been a driving force behind the recently formed Guild of European Research Intensive Universities. The Guild is, ‘committed to developing new forms of collaboration to utilise fully the benefit of our proximity across the European Research Area. We engage with policy-makers to maximise the opportunities for research to inform the politics, culture, science and economy of Europe and its composite states’ The University is also successfully collaborating in Africa, Asia, North America and South America as part of different EU funded research projects. The University supports international collaboration via membership of Universitas 21. This group has member institutions from most regions in the world and includes a research managers working group with the specific purpose of linking researchers and facilitating the creation of joint research projects.

Partnership working and collaboration. The university has a strategic commitment to partnership working and collaboration and this underpins all spheres of its work. Evidence of the university’s approach is given throughout this document, some examples worth highlighting: • Advanced articulation: the university would not be able to meet its targets for Scottish- domiciled undergraduate entrants with advanced articulation without close alliances with colleges. In particular, the relationship with NESCol is longstanding and the College has formal Associate status with RGU. • MD20/MD40 recruitment: the challenging targets for MD20 and MD40 student recruitment are underpinned by the longstanding collaborations with schools, councils and other agencies such as SHEP and ASPIRENorth within the North East region. The increasing concentration on MD20 recruitment means that these relationships are invaluable. Indeed the university has also been able to leverage these links when working to begin to tackle gender balance. • Nursing and midwifery: the university has been working with the Chief Nurse’s Office and NHS Grampian to help improve the recruitment of adult nurses in response to an acute skills shortage within the region aiming to encourage applications to nursing, particularly from males.
