Humanities research can travel a long way when the route to impact is designed around the people who will actually use it. Kalamna is one example of what that journey can look like. In our next Fireside Chat, Dr Saussan Khalil from @Kalamna Arabic and Dr Emma Salgard Cunha from Cambridge Enterprise will share how research in Arabic literacy developed into a social venture with growing reach beyond the university. Bringing both the founder and university perspectives, the conversation will explore how community testing shaped the idea, how funding, licensing and venture support helped it develop, and what universities can do to create stronger pathways for humanities research with the potential for wider impact. You’ll learn: 🔹 How humanities research can develop from an academic insight into a practical proposition 🔹 How community testing and user engagement can shape research based products and services 🔹 How impact funding, licensing and university support can help research move towards application 🔹 What researchers and universities need to consider when moving from early impact towards sustainable scale 📅 05 November | 4:00pm to 4:30pm CET 💻 Online 👉 Learn more and register: https://lnkd.in/eRUwF-pi Already a UIIN member?

Our recently published whitepaper, The Innovative University, identifies six capabilities universities need to strengthen innovation. If I could choose just three to focus on, which would they be? Watch the video to hear where I believe universities can make the biggest difference. If you are thinking about these challenges in your own university, join me next week at the UIIN Future of Universities Summit in Lisbon. Only a few tickets remain, so this is your last chance to join us. Let’s continue the conversation there! https://lnkd.in/eGNRwzjy #FutureOfUniversities #InterdisciplinaryLearning #UniversityInnovation #HigherEducation

What would a university look like if we designed it from scratch? We’re delighted to welcome Manuel Dolderer, Co-Founder and Former President at CODE University of Applied Sciences, as a keynote speaker at the UIIN Future of Universities Summit in Lisbon. At CODE, students learn through practical projects, work across disciplines and take ownership of their learning. Manuel’s experience offers a starting point for discussing what it takes to put a different university model into practice. On 29 October, he’ll join Ed Fidoe for the keynote panel “Reinventing the University: New Models for Learning and Innovation”. The conversation will explore the choices behind new approaches to learning, entrepreneurship and industry engagement, including what worked, what didn’t and what they would do differently. For those working to change established universities, the question is: which lessons could help you move forward in your own institution? 📅 28–29 October 2026 📍 Lisbon, Portugal Join Manuel and fellow university leaders in Lisbon to explore these questions together. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eNukipS6 #FutureOfUniversities #UniversityInnovation #Entrepreneurship #HigherEducation

How can university education help students tackle problems that cross disciplinary boundaries? We’re delighted to welcome Ed Fidoe, Founder and CEO of the LIS: The London Interdisciplinary School, as a keynote speaker at the UIIN Future of Universities Summit in Lisbon. LIS brings disciplines together around real-world problems. Ed’s experience building this model raises questions about how universities organise learning and connect students with challenges beyond the classroom. On 29 October, he’ll join Manuel Dolderer for the keynote panel “Reinventing the University: New Models for Learning and Innovation”. Together, they’ll reflect on building new university models, challenging established approaches to learning, entrepreneurship and industry engagement. Expect a discussion of what worked, what didn’t and what they would do differently. We’ll also explore what established universities can take from these experiences and how those lessons can translate into meaningful institutional change. 📅 28–29 October 2026 📍 Lisbon, Portugal Join Ed and fellow university leaders in Lisbon to discuss what these approaches could mean for your institution. 👉 Just a few late-bird tickets remain, grab yours now! https://lnkd.in/eNukipS6 #FutureOfUniversities #InterdisciplinaryLearning #UniversityInnovation #HigherEducation

When two universities come together, the change is felt far beyond internal teams. Partners still need clarity, continuity and confidence that collaboration can keep moving. In our next Fireside Chat, Peter Stevens, Executive Director, Industry and Government at Adelaide University, will share how the university has approached partnerships and external engagement during a period of major institutional transformation. The conversation will look at the practical side of maintaining partner trust while structures, teams and offers are changing. Peter will also explore how clearer entry points, stronger internal coordination and a more unified partner proposition can help institutions strengthen external relationships through change. You’ll learn: 🔹 What external partners need during major institutional transformation 🔹 How to maintain trust, continuity and momentum while internal structures evolve 🔹 Why clear entry points and internal coordination matter for external engagement 🔹 How periods of change can create opportunities to strengthen the partner experience 📅 03 November | 7:30am to 8:00am CET 💻 Online 👉 Learn more and register: https://lnkd.in/eYMsEdDk Already a UIIN member?
