Creating Better Futures. Together. is Loughborough University's ambitious strategy outlining our vision to 2030, and setting out what we will do to get there.
Our strategy will ensure that we continue to succeed in a challenging world, maintain and build the confidence of our staff, students and partners, and ensure we are well-positioned globally for an exciting future.
How will we deliver our strategy?
To deliver our strategy we will continuously improve our everyday activities and deliver step-change through our key strategic priorities and projects. We will draw on our wealth of talented people to get involved and help us get there.
The Strategic Portfolio and Resources Committee (SPaRC) chaired by the Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, has been established to govern and manage the overall delivery of the Loughborough University Strategy, and the associated Core Plans and Enabling Projects, working within the delegated powers set by Council. You can find information about the Terms of Reference and membership composition and SPaRC meeting dates at Strategic Portfolio and Resources Committee.
Our six integrated Core Plans outline what we are going to do to achieve our strategic aims. Each Core Plan has a governing Core Plan Board (CPB) that is responsible for owning and ensuring their part of the Strategy is delivered, reporting to the overarching Strategic Portfolio and Resources Committee (SPaRC). The Core Plan Board is responsible for ensuring that the right projects are initiated to achieve the aims within each Core Plan. Each board is composed of nominated Dean representatives, the related committee representative(s), academics and representative(s) of Professional Services.
