Overview

**UPDATE** A recording of the webinar is available below.

It is well understood the higher education sector is undergoing a period of significant uncertainty and potential change. The challenges facing the sector will not go away quickly, but will require strong leadership and innovative approaches. The Government’s focus on regional growth and skills puts pressure on institutions to consider and facilitate greater regional collaboration, and a more efficient use of data and technology.

Join HEPI and Advance HE for an insightful webinar where we will explore key questions:

  • What can HE leaders learn from other industries and sectors?
  • How can we ensure the stability of the sector via effective and forward-looking leadership?
