Guidelines for Industry Partners

Sharing learning through industry partnerships is a key part of HS2’s dissemination strategy for the Learning Legacy. This page sets out the process for engaging with the Learning Legacy Network to speak at industry events. It also outlines the process for reproducing/adapting learning legacy articles or engaging with the Learning Legacy Network on blogs and news articles.

Events

Dissemination planning

The HS2 Learning Legacy Manager will work with Industry Partners to discuss and plan any engagement activities on the learning legacy such as industry events, peer review of papers, journal publications or newsletter articles. Dissemination plans identifying a 6 month forward look of all activities will be developed with each Industry Partner and reviewed each time new content is released – typically at 6 month intervals.

Planning Industry Events

For each event the Industry Partners should complete a Speaker Request Form and submit to the Learning Legacy Manager who will coordinate its approval by the HS2 Communications team and invite the requested speakers as set out in Figure 1 above.

Event Management

The Learning Legacy Manager will confirm once the Learning Legacy Network member accepts the speaker invitation and the speaker request is approved, and all subsequent engagement with the speaker will be managed directly by the Industry Partner.

The Industry Partner will assure the quality of content and adherence to the HS2 Learning Legacy Network speaker guidelines.

The Industry Partner will make available any recorded Events such as Learning Legacy webinars for upload to /link from the HS2 Learning Legacy website.

Measuring Impact

Each industry partner will provide quarterly updates to the Learning Legacy Manager on engagement statistics on the Learning Legacy.
