Abstract
The Knowledge Economy - A Sea Changer's Perspective The Australian Universities Community Engagement Alliance (AUCEA) takes a national approach in supporting universities to strengthen their engagement relations with their local and regional communities. It has membership comprising 33 of the 38 public universities. Over the past year AUCEA has developed a national approach to benchmarking university community engagement within a quality management framework. The approach has resulted from consultation among member universities, a review of other efforts in the international literature and piloting across a diverse sample of universities. The benchmarking framework comprises quantitative performance measures and an on-line qualitative community perceptions survey. The quantitative measures comprise 5 high level goals and around 25 performance measures. The complete package is expected to be available from the beginning of 2008 with the first round of benchmark assessments for members to be available later in 2008.
