OES have signed on to sponsor the Universities Without Walls Symposium in Canberra, alongside Future Campus.
The Future Campus team were delighted to have OES on board, given their commitment to pioneering higher quality education experiences facilitated by technology – a goal shared by displaced universities finding new ways to deliver quality education and engage students in Ukraine.
“OES is proud to sponsor the Universities Without Walls Symposium because expanding access to education is central to who we are," OES CEO Jon Davey said.
"The experiences to be shared by our Ukrainian colleagues show what can be achieved when institutions rethink how they serve students and communities.
"Their agility and resilience offer powerful lessons as we seek more flexible, sustainable and student‑centered models of higher education.”
The Symposium has attracted a stellar cast of speakers, featuring Ukrainian Professors Jana Sychikova and Igor Lyman, with reflections on what the lower cost, high efficiency and effectiveness delivery models pioneered in Ukraine could mean for Australia.
Australian higher education leaders speaking at the event include Interim ATEC led and head of Jobs & Skills Australia Barney Glover; JCU DVC (A) Mitch Parsell, Deakin DVC (R&I) Matthew Clarke, RMIT DVC (E) Sherman Young, Macquarie PVC and research security expert Ross McLennan, UQ AI and learning and teaching guru Jason Lodge, UTS Global innovator Kerstin Schofer and the Executive Directors of IRU and RUN, Paul Harris and Alec Webb.
