What a new government means for higher education

With a new government taking shape in Westminister, a packed new agenda of policy and political change is on the cards. From the early announcements through to ministerial and adviser appointments, shifting responsibilities and power across Whitehall, this event will be an early opportunity for the sector to get to grips with the changes going that will impact us over the next Parliament.

We will discuss what some of the main themes might mean in policy practice from driving economic growth, a new agenda for R&D and how the economic landscape and spending reviews and Budgets are likely to work in the coming years.

You will hear from experts in Wonkhe and from the world of policy and politics to discuss how agendas for opportunity, place, funding and fees, research, students and graduates, devolution and more are likely to shake out over the next five years.
