Institutional Research to be held in Southampton in June 2008:
Exploring the Hinterlands: Mapping an Agenda for Institutional Research
Conference
Southampton Solent University, UK

Institutional research is growing fast in the UK, although it has been
established practice in the USA for the past 30 years. Universities in the
UK are beginning to realise that they need more information and research to
underpin strategic decision making, particularly in areas such as the
student learning experience, student profiling, market intelligence,
environmental scanning, predictive modelling and reputation management.
The conference seeks to explore these themes.
We’ve got a full conference programme with speakers from America, Ireland,
Portugal, South Africa and the UK. There will also be a special edition of
perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, the journal of the
Association of University Administrators (AUA).
Come and discover how other institutions are growing their institutional
research to improve decision making, market position and the student
experience.
Who should attend this conference?
The conference would be of interest to a wide audience ranging from higher
education managers and academics, to professionals working in planning and
information, marketing, as well as academic and educational
development/research.

Research, USA
