Leading Higher Education As And For Public Good


Because of the coronavirus outbreak, the conference celebrating the outcome of the Link Arrow Formation and Competence Building of University Academic Developers project was postponed. Instead, you are cordially invited to this one day concluding conference.

About the conference

The conference focuses on sustainability as a public good and poses the question: How can teaching and learning lead to a sustainable future? Professor Ron Barnett, University College London, and Professor Peter Felten, Elon University, will give two key notes to answer this question, and there will be Reading Circles to discuss the recent Link Arrow book chapters from Leading Higher Education as and for Public Good: Rekindling as Praxis, edited by Tone Dyrdal Solbrekke, University of Oslo, and Ciaran Sugrue, University College Dublin.
Professor Inga Bostad, University of Oslo, will moderate Link Arrow a panel on theories and practices of sustainability in higher education.

All those who register will receive a free copy of the e-book Link Arrow Leading Higher Education as and for Public Good: Rekindling as Praxis.

Who will benefit from this conference?

The target group for this conference is employees in higher education, both teachers and leaders, but also administrative staff, university educators and students - and we welcome higher education politicians.
