Creation, validation and organization of
information into new knowledge lie at the heart of
the research mission of the university;
validation, organization and dissemination of
knowledge in the form of new information define
its teaching mission.
Traditional University Missions

Third Mission complements the mission of teaching and the mission of research.
Third Mission supports the structures, processes and engagement between universities and the wider community.
Third Mission activities of HEIs seek to generate, apply and use knowledge and other HEIs capabilities outside academic environments.
The complexity of this issue reflects the richness of the bonds linking HEIs to the society at large.
(Adapted from the Final Report for Russell Group of Universities, 2002)

EXAMPLE OF CURRICULUM-BASED SERVICE LEARNING: STUDENTS LEARNING WITH COMMUNITIES►Community-based learning ► Staff/students collaborate with underserved
community partners (local groups, not-for-profit organisations) to develop real-life course-based credit-bearing projects for mutual benefit.
► 1,300 DIT students, 100+ community partners. ►Module on 1 in 3 undergraduate programmes
► e.g: Leisure Management students train as Gaelic for Girls referees and coaches, and run G4G blitz days in inner-city clubs on work placement module
