The Higher Education sector is becoming increasingly stratified and funding changes increasingly mean that no institution can deliver to all students. All institutions must choose their future and unique University Selling Points. Timed at the beginning of an important year, which includes the review of student finance and fees, you will receive a comprehensive update on the latest policy issues, from the incoming Research Excellence Framework to the next steps after the DIUS commissioned Higher Education reviews.
You will hear from leading national and international commentators on the key strategic challenges facing Higher Education institutions. The summit provides excellent networking opportunities and will allow you to compare your institution with the best in the world and hear how others are tackling the dilemmas facing global higher education.
2009 sees the addition of a series of management master classes focusing on the key challenges to top-level managers in a stratified Higher Education sector.

“We need to decide what a world-class HE system of the future should look like, what it should seek to achieve, and establish the current barriers to its development”
