An exclusive event from
The collaboration
question
A summit on the future of higher education collaboration in the UK
Why now
The question in front of every governing body
UK higher education is being asked to do more together – by ministers, by funders, and by its own balance sheets. Merger makes the headlines, but the bar to it is high – and in front of that question sits everything else institutions can do together: the student experience, courses and curriculum, back offices and shared services, procurement, estates and infrastructure, partnership and federation.
None of it is uncharted. Other systems abroad have been here before ours – and there is much to learn from how they answered.
What nobody has built is the room where the people who would have to say yes can talk about it honestly. On 3 November, that room exists.
The day
The shape of the day
One day. A limited number of places. Provocations in the morning; working sessions in the afternoon; drinks in the evening. All taking place at the vibrant Impact Hub near Euston.
The programme will be published to invitees first.
The room
Everyone who would have to say yes
- Vice-chancellors and principals
- Chairs of council
- The senior leaders who would make collaboration work
- The sector bodies and funders shaping its terms
Places will be limited by the room, not by ambition.
An exclusive Wonkhe event
Wonkhe is the home of the UK higher education policy debate – read every morning by the people who lead the sector, and trusted to convene its most consequential conversations. Its team and network bring deep experience of higher education policy, analysis and convening – including the Festival of Higher Education, the sector's gathering of debate and ideas.
Policy.Partners is Wonkhe's sister firm providing strategy, advice and consultancy to institutions and policy actors in the space.
The collaboration question brings all of our collective experience to one question, for one day.
