GuildHE
Networks
The GuildHE Networks provide an opportunity for senior managers in GuildHE member institutions to network and to have an input into key policy discussions and consultations.
The programmes for Network meetings are set to reflect topical issues of interest or concern for all Network members. Typically they include presentations from external bodies plus an opportunity for practical workshops and discussion.
Some of the networks meet several times in the year and others are ‘virtual’ and receive electronic briefings, meeting only when there are specific matters of concern to GuildHE members. Network arrangements are seen as part of the service that GuildHE provides for its members so are normally free of charge to member institutions.
Network members are usually the senior manager with responsibility for the area concerned. Detailed below is a summary of the Networks –
