The campaign highlights the impact universities in the UK have on the individual, the local community, its businesses, and the future of the UK, just to name a few.
Last year’s campaign resulted in overarching support from 110 institutions, high-profile individuals, backing from business leaders, and a great deal of national and regional media attention on higher education in the UK.
This year will celebrate universities’ position at the heart of the UK education system through five themes.
- Sharing Big Ideas
- Big Ideas for Business
- Big Ideas for Society
- Big Ideas for the Future
- Inside Big Ideas
Each day of ‘Universities Week’ a new story will be told about a unique aspect of the country’s universities and their influence on the economy, culture, society, and the future.
Hundreds of events will be taking place around the country to celebrate Universities Week (13-17 June). For more information on Universities Week, visit www.universitiesweek.org.uk and to show your support, join us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ukuniversities.
