Join THE at this one-day virtual conference Estates Management Symposium as we bring together leading figures across academia and industry to examine how our universities can ensure they are fit for an ever-evolving future – and that their impact is a positive one. We will hear new ideas on shaping the estate to suit a fast-changing curriculum, and  discover innovative ways in which industry-university collaborations can fund redevelopment, and reaffirm how civic engagement must be a fundamental consideration for universities.

The event provides a unique opportunity to debate the challenges of the longer-term objectives of universities over the next five, 10 and 15 years, and we would love you to be part of this virtual conversation.
