The Guardian Higher Education Summit 2009. The annual summit for higher education leaders. Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd February 09, QEII Conference Centre, Westminster Download the brochure Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills (DIUS) Universities UK Education Guardian The Guardian

The Higher Education Summit is established as the largest discussion and networking event for higher education leaders and senior managers in the UK.

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.
