At the University of Limerick (Ireland) we are preparing a Vision 2020 exercise
which aims to set out a "vision" or a broad development strategy of the
University for the next 25 years. It is initially intended to create wildly
futuristic scenarios on the university of the future. This will be followed by a
more sedate planning strategy which will attempt to match the "here and now"
situation with the Vision.

In particular, my group is looking at the External/Network relationships between
the university and the outside community, eg. industry, other universities, the
funding situation, sponsors and clients in the national, international and
international contexts. Other groups are dealing with the broad themes of
"University and Society 2020" and "Research 2020" etc.

Initially I'm aiming to track down documentation on similar exercises carried
out in other institutions in other countries. I'm interested in reports from
governments, forecasting institutes, industry, major companies and universities.

I would like to know if any of your institutions have undergone this, and if I
could have reports (or summaries) sent to me at the address below. Reports to
the year 2010 or even 2015 will not be sneezed at!
