Context is a National Centre and Network for promoting the use of case materials and simulations in higher education and employment. We are funded by The Partnership Trust and co-ordinated by The University of Leeds with the Careers Research Advisory Centre.

Context has been established with the aim of promoting the use of case materials in higher education and employment. Case materials are designed to meet the needs of students for group working, decision making and experience of work.

We are looking towards employers to help us develop materials and promote their use.
