Leadership and Strategy for Advancing Equity
This Global Community brings together senior leaders, strategists and practitioners from around the world to explore how leadership, governance and institutional strategy can drive meaningful and sustainable progress on equity in higher education.
The community focuses on how equity ambitions are translated into strategic priorities, organisational culture and everyday decision-making. Recognising leadership as a critical lever for systemic change, it provides a space for shared learning across diverse political, cultural and institutional contexts.
Participation offers opportunities to learn from peers, reflect on practice and strengthen strategic approaches that support more equitable and inclusive systems globally.
