Apologies for cross-posting:
A major two-day conference, organised by the University of Bradford's
Ecoversity initiative, in collaboration with the Higher Education Academy
(HEA) and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
The conference itself is free, but delegates will need to pay for
accommodation and/or an evening function.
The key topics - which will be addressed within a variety of ways during the
event - will be:
Leadership - What are the required roles and competences of institutional
(e.g. PVCs, Directors), academic (e.g. Deans, Heads of Department) and other
leaders in driving sustainability within institutions? Are these common to
all universities and colleges, and the same as those required to drive any
kind of change within higher education?
Campus - Is a more virtual higher education model the most sustainable one,
by reducing building and travel requirements, and supporting increased
inclusion both within the UK and internationally?
Curriculum - How can sustainability best be embedded in curricula on a
faculty- or institution-wide basis?
People - How can engaged staff and student communities be created and
maintained, especially during times of economic difficulty and consequent
pressures on time and trade-offs with other objectives such as
employability?
