Icelandic universities are active partners in their regions — but how do institutions move from strategic ambition to meaningful, measurable impact? This conference examines the full cycle of engaged academic development: how universities set goals for societal engagement, how they mobilise staff around institutional priorities, and how they capture and evaluate their activity. Drawing on concrete examples from across Iceland, and with input from labour market stakeholders, the day will combine presentations, workshops, and open dialogue to explore what effective quality assurance for regional engagement looks like — not just as a record of the past, but as a driver of continuous improvement.
