Academic careers are unique
2023-01-17 10:00
Academic careers – what are the keys to success?” on 17 January 2023 at 10am (GMT)
REGISTER NOW
Academic careers are unique. You’re expected to serve your students, conduct high-quality research and to build an international reputation for your scholarship. The job requires years of education; writing, speaking and teamworking skills; data and tech literacy; curiosity and creativity; and time commitments outside of the typical 9 to 5.
There is no one path to career success in academia, but there are lessons that can be learned from others who have gone before you – or might even be working alongside you.
In this webinar, chaired by THE Campus editor Sara Custer, we will answer questions about academic careers in several countries and offer advice on:
• Salary negotiation
• Networking
• Workload management for early career academics
• Choosing the right supervisor
Even if you aren’t at the beginning of your career, this discussion will help you think about how you are supporting the early career academics in your department.

2023-02-10 13:00 - 14:30
Consortium for Universities of Global Health in Collaboration, with the Canadian Network for NTDs
Virtual Panel Discussion
TOPIC: Research and Action to End Neglected Tropical Diseases
February 10, 2023: 1:00 pm-2:30 pm ET
There are 20 Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) that affect 1.7 billion people, one billion of which are children.
Most are poor and live in tropical environments. 170,000 people die from these diseases every year, but many more
suffer from severe pain and long-term disability. This has profound health, social, and economic consequences for
the individual and the family. However, there is hope. They can be eliminated, and 47 countries have eliminated at
least one NTD. Treating these diseases is a public health best buy and is one of the most important actions that can improve a childs ability to learn.
Hear from, and pose questions to, this outstanding panel of global experts who will share what we can do to prevent,
treat and eliminate these illnesses that affect some of the worlds most under-resourced communities.

Stanford Existential Risks Conference, April 20-22, 2023
2023-04-20 00:00 - 2023-04-22 00:00
From Global Catastrophes to Existential Risks: Intersections, Reinforcements, and Cascades
Sponsored by: Stanford Existential Risks Initiative
The Center for International Security and Cooperation We’re pleased to announce SERI’s 2023 Existential Risks Conference. You can now sign up to attend in-person, subject to our limited available space, or online. Preliminary information about the conference schedule, logistics, and frequently asked questions is available below.
Our 3rd annual Stanford Existential Risks Conference aims to take stock of global catastrophic and existential risk studies. A special focus of this year’s meeting will be risk intersections, reinforcements, and cascades: how one risk may amplify (or diminish) another, and how multiple risks interact to create new concerns that may be larger than the sum of their parts. The conference will also feature discussions of the ethics of radical longtermism.
The meeting will take place in a hybrid format. It begins with a welcome dinner on April 20 for in-person participants. All of April 21 will be in-person, with all events broadcast online for remote participants. The morning of April 22 will feature remote presentations and participation, available to the in-person audience as well. For the remainder of April 22, we will close with in-person (and remotely available) events.

The Community for Environmental Disciplines in Higher Education (CEDHE) Committee invite you to join them in discussion at the 2023 AGM and Forum
2023-05-25 11:00 - 15:00
Dear Kesmonds International University Team,
As a Member of the Institutions in Environmental Sciences (IES), we invite your students and teaching staff to all over events.
The Community for Environmental Disciplines in Higher Education (CEDHE) Committee invite you to join them in discussion at the 2023 AGM and Forum.
As skills for our transition to a net zero economy become increasingly important to employers, we explore what specific skills employers want from Environmental Science graduates in 2023, and beyond.
This year’s FREE online CEDHE Forum, on Thursday 25th May, will delve into this theme, aiming to identify the specialist net zero skills applicable to the environmental sciences, but also more broadly what range of skills employers want to see in environmental science graduates that will allow their businesses to meet their net zero commitments.
Environmental scientists will be a driving force in the transition to net zero. Practitioners with practical field and lab-based skills, underpinned by core scientific knowledge, are going to be increasingly important in meeting the challenges of the future. However, what specific skills do employers see as being essential for their net zero transition, and how can they be embedded into the curriculum?
The Forum will allow programme teams to hear from a range of employers in the sector, through panel discussions and presentations about the net zero skills they need, and will further give attendees the opportunity to participate in group discussions with colleagues about how different universities embed net zero skills into their programmes.

Global Sustainable Development Congress 2023
2023-05-30 08:00 - 2023-06-01 17:00
Topic: Uniting higher education, governments, industry and society for a sustainable future
Date: 30 May – 1 June 2023
Location: Thuwal, Saudi Arabia

We are thrilled to announce the first speakers for the Global Sustainable Development Congress 2023 at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia from 30 May – 1 June. The congress comes at the pivotal halfway mark between COP 27 in Egypt in 2022 and COP 28 in the United Arab Emirates this November, ensuring we keep the sustainability crisis centre stage in the region.

As a leading sustainability-focused academic institution in the region, KAUST is dedicated to pioneering new models of liveability and ecological conservation and is proud to host the first GSDC in the Middle East.

The congress will assess the current (in)action with regard to how the sustainability crisis is being tackled. It will challenge the usual thinking on how higher education, together with the support of governments, business and society, can accelerate progress on the SDGs. And it will provide concrete action plans and practical solutions.

Under the overarching theme of “universities at a time of global crisis”, the agenda features four streams of content addressing the emergency.

• Health and demography
• Energy and industry
• Environment
• Cities and communities

CUGH Webinar: Building Effective Partnerships for Development Between Low-Income Countries: a powerful opportunity for impact
2023-06-26 10:00 - 11:00
Global health partnerships are often thought of as being between institutions in high-income nations and institutions in low-or low-middle-income countries (LLMICs). Yet, a top priority for institutions in LLMICs is to build collaborations with institutions in other LLMICs. Such partnerships are powerful due to similarities shared by organizations across language, infrastructure, resources, culture, and needs.
Building these collaborations is a neglected opportunity that can create durable outcomes that meet the needs of LLMICS. This panel of global experts will share with the audience why these partnerships can be highly effective, the gaps that exist in creating them, their benefits, how they can be created and innovations in strengthening and retaining training capacity in LLMICS. This will be followed by a Q and A with the online audience. This is not to be missed!

CUGH Global Health Education Webinar:
Virtual Global Health Education: Approaches & Advances
Thursday, September 14, 2023
8am PST/11am EST/3pm GMT

Register now!

Join experts from across the globe representing diverse applications of virtual global health education and information dissemination. In order to scale capacity and access to health education and global health exposure, virtual approaches are increasingly utilized. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many in-person activities were halted, requiring innovation in virtual approaches. In the aftermath of travel restrictions, virtual approaches have become much more mainstreamed and acceptable. This webinar will discuss approaches for Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), simulated public health peer exchanges, virtual health professions education, and Health Information for All (HIFA). Discuss the creative use of cell phone technology, email, information dissemination, virtual interfaces, classroom and applied learning.
