Programme:

 

Introduction (Gavin Poynter and Corinne Squire, UEL)

1.30-3.00pm: Universities in society

What kind of higher education do we want? How do we assess the value of contemporary university education to the economy and society? Should universities be moving away from disciplinarity in order to educate?

Discussing these questions will be Stephen Anderson, Campaign for Social Science; Caroline Gipps, ex-VC, Wolverhampton University; John Holmwood, Campaign for the Public University; Derek Robbins, UEL and Faiza Shaheen, New Economics Foundation

Chair: Gavin Poynter, UEL

3.00-3.30pm: Refreshments

3.30-5.00pm: Future scenarios

Does diversity in providers of education and research lead to better or worse higher education? What might be appropriate balances between public and private provision? What should universities' relations to research, employers, community, and/or international partners be?

Addressing these issues will be Liam Burns, President, National Union of Students; Carl Lygo, BPP; Terri Kim, Brunel University; Mike Rustin, UEL and Peter Scott, Institute of Education

Chair: Ann Mroz, Times Higher Education
