Join our panel of experts for this live event as we debate the perceptions of our sector, and argue that we must do a better job of fighting for it.

26th July, 2024
9.30am - 10.30am
Online

Our panel will discuss rapidly changing government policies, funding and value for money, internationalisation. The prevailing narratives which have damaged the sector to a point where universities are making difficult decisions and, in some cases, fighting to survive.

A new government marks an opportunity to change the narrative and push the sector further up the agenda. As a collective we have not always been good at demonstrating what we offer. This session will look at how we work together to do better and build back understanding of why universities exist, and must continue to exist. 

The event will start with a panel discussion chaired by Phil Baty from Times Higher Education, and conclude with a Q&A session with questions from the audience submitted during the event. Questions can be submitted in advance through the booking form.
