BREAK and networking
Beyond borders – international travel and study, it’s not
for administrators?
The session will highlight the value of international travel and cultural
exchanges for university administrators and provide participants with
an insight into the process of planning an international visit, the
experience itself and the impact on an individual and department
upon return.
12.00 – 12.30
Is small beautiful? Is bigger better? Life at different
institutions
This session is for anyone who has ever wondered what it’s like to work
in a smaller institution and assumed, perhaps, that it wouldn’t suit
them. And for those who maybe think about working in a much larger
institution, but are not sure about making the leap. This session offers a
chance to reflect on the differences and the similarities with the
presenter who has worked in, and enjoyed, both.
