      abstract = {Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide,  and on a survey administered to leaders in 101  universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the  significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,  universities found ways to engage with schools to support  them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so,  they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced  the integration of the research and outreach functions of  the university. The evidence suggests that universities are  indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment,  able to discover changes that can influence them and to  change in response to those changes. They are also able, in  the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational  impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the  result of the innovations they can generate. This  challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being  isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from  local problems. As they reached out to schools,  universities not only generated clear and valuable  innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to  improve it, this process also contributed to transform  internal university processes in ways that enhanced their  own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach},
