Description

New for 2023, and aimed at senior and strategic leaders within HE, this one day in-person conference will focus on the sector's responsibilities in relation to the UN SDGs, civic responsibility, new sustainability initiatives and research.

By way of keynote speakers that include Professor Clare Pollock, Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, Western Sydney University, panel sessions with expert panalists such as Carlos Shanka Boissy Diaz, University of Bristol, and workshops that feature industry leaders like Dr Ishan Cader, Director, Consultancy at Times Higher Education (THE) this conference will provide a forum for learning about evidence-based and co-produced initiatives that engender real change and offer a safe space for discussion on how to achieve your institution's sustainability targets.

Universities have a critical role as models of good practice, enabling the knowledge, ideas and opportunities to solve local and global challenges and valuing all their stakeholders. This requires organisational strategy and KPIs aligned to sustainability, delivered through committed and distributed leadership.

Conference themes:
• Supporting and challenging organisational leaders to take a holistic approach to aligning their sustainability strategy and practice this conference will focus on three key themes:
• What we do: What data and information do we need, want and have? What evidence and insights can we draw from the data and how do we use this for informed decision making?
• How we do it: How can the organisational leadership, executive and governance, strategically develop and plan to stimulate and create shared understanding about direction of travel in a way that unites? What principles and values drive organisational strategy?
• What success looks like: How do we measure it? How do we engage stakeholders and tell our story?
