Taking the expertise of academia and utilising it for real world benefits is a major goal of the learning process. But new ventures which aim to provide social, economic or cultural benefits for the community are only as effective as the methods used to implement them - and it is here that the UPBEAT model can provide faculty and school heads with an invaluable resource.

By providing a step-by-step guide for new ventures UPBEAT can ensure that projects are on the right track from their inception, flagging up the key components needed for long-term growth and sustainability.

With ventures that are already underway, UPBEAT can identify performance requirements and help guide the venture onto greater success.

Where more than one project is underway, UPBEAT provides an invaluable tool to compare and evaluate, ensuring that all of your outreach programmes benefit from shared learning and long-term success.
