What is a University for? What is the role of the University in a world where the tech-sector is growing 2.5x faster than the overall economy, where flexible working spaces are set to grow by up to 30% annually for the next five years across Europe, and where alternative learning providers are serving the flexible workplace hungry for continual and modular “up-skilling”? A review of the various functions fulfilled by Universities across teaching, research, and place-making.

The only constant is change. How can Universities develop a culture of agile thinking which is comfortable with constant iteration and updates? How can this methodology combined with technology help to improve everything from departmental curriculum resources, facilities student support, to alumni programmes. A focused look at implementation.
