General Information
Higher education is changing and the facilities need to support this. This conference looks at this change and how facilities need to respond. Starting with an evaluation of change as it affects higher education, it focuses on the spaces where learning, innovation and knowledge transfer happens be it in: classrooms, offices, research labs, clubs, cafes and the places between, inside or outside them.
The formal and informal exchange of knowledge takes place not only within the university but with collaborations between universities, the community and business. Spaces and places need to reflect this. Spaces and places for universities are not just confined to campuses, other types of space such as research parks are emerging too.
Who should attend
Leaders: including rectors, vice rectors, vice chancellors and administration directors
Leaders, managers and academics in higher education
Policy makers in central, regional and local governments
Architects, developers, educationalists, workplace designers
