The General Register Office for Scotland: Population estimates that Scotland’s Population in 2008 was 5,168,500 of which 584,240 live in Glasgow City. The working age population in Glasgow city is 392,028. Migrant workers from the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia (the A8) were significant in Glasgow’s rising population following EU expansion. There is anecdotal evidence that migrant workers may be leaving Scotland due to the recession. Scottish Government policy is very welcoming of the economic contribution migrant workers

Place Management, Social Capital and Learning Regions can make to the Scottish economy. There is a small black and minority ethnic community in addition to the A8 migrants concentrated geographically in Scotland upon Glasgow. In 1811 Glasgow had become the second city of the British Empire. It is now larger than any other city in Britain outside London. By 1900 Glasgow was at its peak of industrial production and the major contributor to Scottish industry. Since this industrial heyday Glasgow declined but then resurged as a hub for tourism, retail, leisure with an emerging service based economy. (ii) Other essential geographical features: Glasgow City covers 68 square miles. (see appended map) It is a conurbation on Scotland’s West Coast and part of the Scotland’s “Central Belt” a relatively populated area containing towns such as Cumbernauld and East Kilbride built to take Glasgow’s population overspill in the late 1960’s and 1970’s extending to the City of Edinburgh Scotland’s Capital (with a population of 471,650) 46 miles away on the East Coast. Glasgow is situated on the West Coast of Scotland and is cut by the River Clyde a natural resource which once allowed Glasgow and its hinterland’s early industrial history based on heavy engineering – coal mining and ship building to thrive on its banks. The Clyde Valley within which Glasgow sits is bounded by the low hills. The city is well served by motorway and train routes and is served by two airports Glasgow Airport and Glasgow Prestwick International to the South. (iii) Economy, industries and employment features: Five key figures:      The claimant count unemployment rate in Glasgow City is 8.5% - This is higher than Scotland as a whole. In Glasgow City, 47% of wards have claimant count unemployment rates of more than twice the average for Scotland. The employment rate in Glasgow City is 66%. This is significantly lower than the Scotland average of 76%. Working age people account for 67% of all people in Glasgow City. This is higher than for Scotland as a whole. Compared to Scotland, there are a higher per cent of jobs in Finance and business, and a lower per cent in Manufacturing.

(iii) Environmental issues: 1. Landfill - Scotland is one of the most prolific users of landfill for waste management in Europe but ambitious zero waste targets have been set to divert and recycle waste which would otherwise go to landfill. 2. Renewable Energy - Scotland provides around 10% of Europe’s Renewable energy resource mainly Wind and Wave energy from Scotland’s West Coast. 3. Renewable Heat – ambitious projects are underway in Scotland for heat recovery from industrial processes (20,000 mega watts) to be used to heat domestic homes and community buildings. 4. A Biodiversity Policy is a key plank of Scottish Government Environmental Policy. 1 in 3 amphibians, 1 in 6 Birds and 1 in 3 mammals are currently under threat.

(iv) Cultural issues: 1. Cultural events. Glasgow has a great history of hosting culturally significant events for example:    1988 Glasgow hosts the National Garden Festival attracts 4.3 million visitors. In 1990Glasgow marks its reign as Cultural Capital of Europe with a year long festival of over 3,000 events and the opening of Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Glasgow celebrates its reign as UK City of Architecture and Design in1999.
2. Football and sectarianism. Football is a Scottish passion. Glasgow has two main football teams Rangers and Celtic which tend to attract a fan base along sectarian lines. The Scottish government has through

Confidence The Scottish Psyche tends to be modest and self deprecating. It is argued that a lack of confidence may have led to a lack of the risk taking behaviour associated with entrepreneurial flair.

(v) Other issues or dimensions: (e.g. political & administrative, civic and participation) Scotland was granted devolution by the passing of the Scotland Act in 1998 which means that Scotland has a parliament with ‘devolved’ powers within the United Kingdom. Any powers which remain with the UK Parliament at Westminster are reserved. Reserved matters were set out in Schedule 5 of the Scotland Act. A basic breakdown is given below. Essentially the powers of the Scottish Parliament are set out by what it does not have legislative competence in rather than in what it can do.   Devolved powers: Matters such as education, health and prisons, which used to be dealt with by the Parliament at Westminster, are now decided in Scotland. Reserved powers: Decisions (mostly about matters with a UK or international impact) are reserved and dealt with at Westminster.
National Economic Forum Scotland's National Economic Forum, bringing together key representatives from the private, public, third sector and trade unions. These partners are committed to the government skills and economic strategies, see below. Community Planning Partnerships At a local level community planning working towards targets agreed in a single outcome agreement ensures partnership working at the level of local authority regions. Statutory partners include local authorities, fire police health enterprise agency and transport partners who are joined by other public, voluntary and community groups. Strategic Context The Scottish Governments Economic Strategy sets out a vision of “sustainable economic growth and opportunities for all”. The strategy further states:

Observatory PASCAL
Place Management, Social Capital and Learning Regions “Scotland has real strength in the most vital factor for modern economies – the human capital offered by our greatest asset, Scotland’s people. We need to build on this strength and, importantly, make more of it broadening Scotland’s comparative advantage in the global economy. This is the focus for the Strategy: the alignment of investment in learning and skills with other key priorities; a supportive business environment; investment in infrastructure and place; effective government; and greater equity, in pursuit of greater comparative advantage. For the first time, too, this is a strategy with challenging national targets to take us towards improved economic and population growth.” The government further outlines the principles which underpin its desired growth strategy as solidarity, cohesion and sustainability. Shown diagrammatically below:
Skills for Scotland: A Lifelong Skills Strategy The government views skills development as fundamental to economic development and therefore developed a new skills strategy. “Skills development contributes to economic development from which we believe other benefits flow such as social justice, stronger communities and more engaged citizens”. Skills for Scotland: A Lifelong Skills Strategy provides a challenge and call to action for stakeholders, employers and individuals. The strategy states: “A smarter Scotland is at the heart of everything we want to achieve for this country. We can only build a Scotland that is wealthier and fairer, one that is healthier; safer; stronger and greener, if people are equipped with the skills, expertise and knowledge for success. This

Place Management, Social Capital and Learning Regions strategy sets out what our objectives need to be to develop a cohesive lifelong learning system centred upon the individual but responsive to employer needs.” The skills strategy sets out a number of areas for action:  Individual Development (developing an approach to skills acquisition, funding support, equal access and participation). “As well as aiming to promote equal access to and participation in skills and learning for all, we will aim to recognise people’s different needs situations and goals and remove the barriers that limit what people can do and can be”  Economic Pull (increasing demand for skills, improving skills utilisation, understanding current and projected demands for skills). “We will need employers that demand, value and make best use of their workforce’s skills”  Cohesive Structures (simplifying support structures to improve access to learning and training for customers). “We need to improve employability skills for those without jobs; we need to ensure that everyone can see clear and tangible benefits from investing in their own development and that of their workforce. Other key government policies targeted at specific groups include “More Choices, More Chances” (2006), the strategy for young people not in employment, education or training and “Workforce Plus” through programmes such as Training for Work targeted at unemployed adults. At the European level the government is committed to active participation in the Lisbon Agenda. The Lisbon Agenda agreed in 2000, seeks to promote economic reform in Europe to enable it to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge based economy in the World. The Lisbon Agenda is associated with the Bologna Process signed by 30 European ministers of Education, which aims to create a European Higher Education area by 2010. The intent is greater comparability of qualifications across the European Union to allow greater mutual recognition of university degrees and encourage student mobility.

Skills Utilisation, Workforce Development and Knowledge Transfer Skills Utilisation can be defined as: The effective matching of acquired skills, to business needs through HR, leadership, management and work practice, thereby increasing business performance. To be effective skills utilisation will be tailored to the organisational model and product market strategy of the business and will result in a culture where employers get the most from their staff and individual employees are satisfied and motivated in their roles. Workforce Development Workforce development within organisations is the identification of knowledge and behaviours that are needed by the workforce to deliver services both now and in the future and how these will be resourced. Workforce development needs and “products” aimed to address these are a subset of the overarching aim of skills utilisation.

Place Management, Social Capital and Learning Regions Investigating knowledge transfer within Universities is a common theme for all PURE regional reviews and is a key aim of the PURE study. This theme will therefore be addressed in the Glasgow review. Knowledge transfer seeks to organize, create, capture or distribute knowledge and ensure its availability for future users. The PURE project aims to address and attempt to measure using a qualitative approach the practical problem of transferring knowledge and learning benefits acquired within Universities to their wider communities and regional geography. Student’s experiences are often said to represent “knowledge transfer on legs”.

1. What aspects of regional development and the role of higher education in particular do you wish to engage with, focus on and improve, through your involvement in PURE? We hope that engaging in the PURE study will assist Skills Development Scotland and partner agencies to redefine the Work Force Development system in Scotland a task which Skills Development Scotland the Scottish Funding Council, Scottish Enterprise and others are actively engaged in now. (a) From the point of view of the region and its priorities, objectives and ways of working? Involvement in PURE will assist in developing new national and international networks. Access to benchmarking tools and assistance to develop new measures to reflect evolving strategies in skills development will be particularly welcome (b) From the point of view of the higher education institutions and their priorities, objectives and ways of working? We expect that this will emerge as the review progresses 2. In terms of the wider global, political, administrative, economic and environmental setting it was agreed at the PURE Glasgow working meeting (September 2008) that the following aspects (included in Briefing Paper No. 3) were of wide general significance for the PURE project as a whole: (a) What role are strong national and/or regional policies in favour of third mission playing to overcome barriers for PURE work in regions? (b) Will strong national and regional policies in favour of sustainable development have an impact on PURE activity on environmental issues? (c) Will strong policies on implementing LLL at national and/or regional levels have an impact on PURE activities? (LLL = life long learning?)? (d) Will strong national and/or regional innovation and research policies have as impact on PURE activities? (e) Will strong and/or regional policy on administrative and governance issues have an impact on PURE activities? (f) How is the third mission seen and developed, and how central is it to the future especially of nonelite universities?
(g) Is the globalisation of the economy changing regions' ecological, social and cultural policies? If so, how will it impact on PURE activities in the region and the university?
