HEIR 2020 conference moves online

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual Higher Education Institutional Research (HEIR) Network conference will take place online on 10 and 11 September, 2020.

22 June 2020

Hosted by the University of Brighton, the online event will be of interest to delegates from across the Higher Education (HE) sector and beyond, including institutional managers, data analysts, academic developers, student experience experts, policymakers, strategic planners, quality professionals, business intelligence analysts, management information specialists, market intelligence officers, teachers and researchers.

The conference theme is ‘Institutional Research: Strengthening Higher Education Futures’ and comprises four strands which will highlight the ways in which institutional research, evaluation and data increasingly play a pivotal role in supporting institutional effectiveness to strengthen HE futures. 

Papers are invited on:

  • Enhancing learning lives
  • Enriching data stories
  • Influencing policy
  • Learning from crises

The deadline for submitting a proposal is now extended until 23:59 on Sunday 12 July.

The conference includes four influential keynote speakers; Professor Sir Chris Husbands, Eliza Kozman, David Kernohan, and Nona McDuff; all experts in their field, ready to share their knowledge and insights on the current issues facing the sector and how we can effectively respond. In addition, there will be a range of relevant breakout sessions throughout the event, delivered by inspiring HE professionals and academics.

Rachel Bowden, Head of the University of Brighton’s Evaluation and Policy Department and Chair of HEIR2020 Planning Group, said:

 “I am absolutely delighted that the University of Brighton is still able to host this important annual conference now in a new online format. This virtual event will make it easy for both HE professional service staff and academics to share fresh insights and good practice in the current climate, and we have added an additional strand ‘learning from crises’ specifically to focus on this. We have an unmissable opportunity to support each other to seek solutions to common challenges affecting all of us across the sector, particularly in these times of rapid change. 

“The conference is a key date in the calendar for HEIR Network members, but the event is open to all academics, professionals and organisations with an interest in or commitment to leveraging institutional research to strengthen the HE sector.”
