Adapting to Disruptive Times: Emerging Models for HE Provision
Senate House, London
Thursday 3 November 2011
9.30 – 17.00, followed by a wine reception
The Observatory on Borderless Higher Education and University of London International Programmes are holding a seminar on 3 November to explore the technological, socio-economic and international challenges to traditional higher education and to examine how existing models of higher education provision are responding to these transformations. Participants will debate the extent to which these challenges necessitate structural change within institutions and examine what new models and adaptations are emerging at universities and private providers. The programme will include a consideration of how industries such as publishing continue to deal with disruptive change and the lessons that can be brought into higher education.
This one-day conference is aimed primarily at senior managers and policy-makers in higher education. The format will be mainly plenaries with one breakout session.

• Professor Geoffrey Crossick, Vice-Chancellor University of London
• Professor Kelvin Everest, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, University of Liverpool
