The University of Exeter will be hosting Times Higher Education’s (THE) Digital Universities UK 2024 on 16-18 April 2024.
The event will bring together more than 120 speakers which will include leading academics, senior tech industry professionals and policy experts working in technology and higher education who will delve into this year’s theme of building inclusive digital futures.
THE and the University of Exeter are partnering to ensure Digital Universities UK 2024 puts people at the centre of digital, providing an opportunity for the hundreds of attendees to reshape education to make it inclusive, high-quality and transformative.
The latest challenges and opportunities of digital transformation will be discussed at the event, which will include more than 50 sessions, along with the culture change needed to strengthen the core mission of universities, enabling global sharing of knowledge and learning without boundaries.
The event’s four core themes are:
- Leadership for a smart, sustainable campus
- Digitally transforming the research experience
- Human-centred student experience
- Teaching, learning and assessment innovations
The agenda and speakers will be announced later in the year.
Charlotte Coles, THE’s Director of global events, said:
