This speech was delivered by Nick Hillman, Director of HEPI, at Heriot-Watt University earlier today.
Introduction
It is a huge pleasure to be back here at Heriot-Watt.
The organisation I lead, the Higher Education Policy Institute or HEPI, is a specialist think tank that seeks to build bridges between policymakers and the higher education sector. HEPI is a UK-wide institution and our Chair is Professor Dame Sally Mapstone, whom you will know well as not only the Principal and Vice-Chancellor of St Andrews but also the Convener of your representative body, Universities Scotland.
The easiest way to engage with HEPI’s work, assuming you do not already do so, is through our daily blog, so please do sign up for this at the bottom of our homepage if you have not already done so.
