Cue East - UEA

  Cue East

CUE stands for Community University Engagement. CUE East is the Eastern region Beacon for Public Engagement - one of six nationwide (for details of the other five Beacons see What are Beacons? For details of the National Co-ordinating body see National Co-ordinating Centre.

CUE East is led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and is  a four year funded project to promote awareness, understanding and promotion of  public engagement. The project runs from January 2008 to Dec 2011.

The local beacon - Community University Engagement East (CUE East) - is led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and will make a clear distinction between knowledge transfer - which promotes and deploys academic know-how to specific users - and genuine engagement activity that promotes questioning from the public, and listening and involvement from staff and students themselves.

 A key feature of CUE East is a one-stop-shop located off campus at the Forum in Norwich, a millennium building that welcomes 2.5 million visitors a year.

The one-stop-shop will provide a city contact point for the public and digital facilities for university staff and students to use in their public engagement activities.

CUE East funds new activities under the broad theme of Sustainable Living, to embrace issues such as ethical consumerism, the GM debate and climate change.

CUE East has 22 partners, including BBC East, the East of England Development Agency and Business in the Community.
