How can the universities improve the relevance and quality of their teaching and research? How can the pathways between technological institutes and universities be improved? How can Veracruz capitalise on the ongoing university social service programmes to create a more comprehensive approach to regional development?  This publication explores a range of helpful policy measures and institutional reforms to mobilise higher education for the development of Veracruz
