thematic programmes

smarter universities: smarter technology

The ‘Smarter Universities, Smarter Technology: the leadership agenda’ thematic programme is run in partnership with IBM.  

The event is designed for strategic leaders who wish to gain further insights into the future of technology and its potential to transform core aspects of universities' business. The agenda is in two parts, first an opportunity to hear about IBM's current research and development initiatives and their potential application in higher education and second to explore with other senior leaders the wider leadership challenges which need to be considered. Case studies from HEI’s who are already engaged with this agenda will provide further contextualisation and act as a catalyst for debate.

This is a unique opportunity for those interested in the strategic potential of technology but who are not technology specialists to be better informed and more able to engage with their Chief Information and Technology Officers on matters relating to strategic IT and IS.
