Thank you for your continued friendship of @The_ACU and for your inspiring words and clarion call on the value of higher education ahead of #CCEM
Honoured to address the #ACUSummit24 evening reception ahead of #CCEM in London tomorrow.
For decades, @The_ACU has been a beacon of excellence, fostering collaboration, innovation and inclusivity in higher education institutions within our diverse #Commonwealth family.
Thank you @LondonEconomics for a fantastically chaired session. Lively debate with a range of perspectives and we look forward to taking the ideas and policy proposals forward to ministers at #22CCEM
Insightful session at our #ACUSummit24 on university #finance and #funding. Different funding models are needed that make the Global North-South divide better for mutual benefit - current models make it worse. Huge thanks to our session chair @GavanConlon.
