Brought to you by Wonkhe and the University of London, The Festival of Higher Education will bring together higher education leaders, opinion-formers, and wonks of all types to discuss the biggest issues facing universities today.

Over two thought-provoking days, you’ll take part in intimate one to one conversations with HE leaders, set-piece debates, and hear insights from journalists, commentators, and policymakers. You’ll hear from speakers inside and outside the sector, learn about new research, data and ideas and meet colleagues old and new, equipping you with fresh thinking and insights ready to take back and share with your team. It’s unlike any other event on the higher education calendar and not to be missed.
