Current Developments in Further & Higher Education Finance

The ‘Social Impact' of universities, colleges and academies

29 June 2010

This day is about:

Making a social impact: How you can support your institution to be more socially responsible and stand out despite cutbacks. It's time to look forward within further and higher education and highlight the economic and employment benefits of your institution within society. Cutbacks and financial challenges will still exist for many universities, colleges and academies, but those who decide to advance in the areas of social responsibility, carbon reduction strategies and ethical investments can begin to make long-term savings. Understand how your institution can benefit from sustainability initiatives and learn how to measure your current and future successes that can help you to attract the funding you need.

It will cover:

• The future position and challenges for FEHE post general election
• Accounting for the economic and employment benefits of FEHE institutions
• Supporting your institution to be more socially responsible
• Getting to grips with ethical investments, a presentation from Lazard Asset Management Limited
• How the carbon reduction strategy can benefit your institution

The event will equally cover issues pertinent to further and higher education institutions.

It is designed for: Finance practitioners and those involved in strategic and corporate issues in further and higher education. Professional advisory group representatives who require information on developments within the sector will also benefit greatly from attending this practical and timely event.
