“…In a normative sense, this debate is related to ongoing discussions about the role of universities in promoting the public good, citizenship and democracy, among other areas ( Bryer et al, 2020 ). Such discussions have become increasingly important in the context of grand challenges like rising socio-economic inequalities within and across countries, democratic backsliding, crisis management, etc.…”

This article examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university–community engagement (UCE) as an academic mission. The aim of the work is to outline the ways in which UCE has been functioning since the turbulent onset of the pandemic in the spring of 2020. The study undertakes a systematic review of the UCE literature to identify major trends, raising important questions regarding ongoing scholarly discussions and managerial/policy debates on the subject. The results show seven distinct types of engagement responses by higher education institutions (HEIs) across the globe. In addition, the review identified that HEIs faced difficulties in either adapting existing engagement practices or while establishing new ones, especially regarding the efficient use of digital technologies. In terms of implications, the findings suggest that the pandemic has resulted in new debates about the societal role of HEIs, with medium- and long-term implications for policy and management.

“…Communities partner with universities with the aim to transform their conditions through selfmanagement practices (Compare et al, 2022). But too often universities do not consider the final goal of communities and just focus their attention into pedagogical and process-related aspects (Bryer et al, 2020). Consequently, many times partnerships do not become fully beneficial for communities, as they fail to substantially transform their conditions during and after the partnerships (Baum, 2000).…”

Collaboration and participation are transforming architectural disciplines. Especially in public and collective projects, where more democratic decision-making processes are starting to be implemented. Within this changing context, socially engaged universities can contribute to generate new knowledge around participatory processes and design methods. This can be achieved through design-based university-community partnerships, where useful learning for communities, students and academics can be generated. Following a Participatory Action Research methodology, different partnerships informed this paper. These were structured around landscape architecture university courses with the aim to experience service learning. The article explains the adaptability of the applied methodology and its capacity to serve community needs by seeking design implementation. It shows how partnerships allowed students to learn about new professional roles and design processes through direct experience, while academics developed practice-based research. Finally, it showcases how socially engaged academics can generate knowledge through practice and from the outcomes of that practice. Los procesos participativos y la colaboración interdisciplinar están transformando las disciplinas arquitectónicas. Especialmente en proyectos públicos y colectivos, donde se están empezando a desarrollar sistemas de decisión más democráticos. En un contexto donde cambian las metodologías de trabajo y los roles tradicionales, las universidades interesadas en desarrollar aprendizaje-servicio pueden contribuir a generar conocimiento si se asocian a grupos comunitarios. Utilizando cursos de paisajismo, y siguiendo una metodología de acción participativa, diferentes colaboraciones informan este artículo. En él se explica la adaptabilidad de la metodología aplicada y cómo se intenta dar respuesta a los objetivos de los grupos comunitarios al perseguir la construcción de los proyectos. Esta voluntad práctica y participativa permite a los alumnos aprender nuevos roles y métodos de diseño a través de la experiencia directa. A su vez, los académicos pueden desarrollar nuevos procesos pedagógicos y crear proyectos de investigación tanto entre proyectos como de cada proyecto.
