4. Engagement @ CQUniversity 4 The university recognises that staff are at the forefront of the Engagement agenda and are crucial participants in building mutually beneficial partnerships with external communities and stakeholders and that it is crucial to be able to measure and report on these engagement activities.

5. Engagement Database - Why? 2 The Engagement Database (ED) will enable CQUniversity to map and understand the current level and types of ‘engaging’, ‘scholarly engagement’ and ‘public service’ activities ongoing between the University and its diverse and geographically spread communities. ED will be a fundamental enabler of CQUniversity’s vision to become Australia’s most engaged university.
