Conflict on Campus

Join us for "Conflict on Campus," a dynamic one-day event in Edinburgh that dives into how Scotland’s universities can effectively tackle conflict while staying true to their core values. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with senior colleagues from across the higher education landscape and explore the challenges we face together. Throughout the day, you’ll hear from experienced speakers who will share real-life insights on navigating conflict in university settings. The program kicks off with a panel discussion about the purpose of universities, followed by case studies that reveal the struggles institutions face in maintaining open inquiry amidst pressures. In the afternoon, roll up your sleeves for interactive workshops that focus on enhancing dialogue and decision-making around key topics like academic freedom and protest. Whether you’re in university leadership, an academic passionate about freedom of speech, or involved in student affairs, this event is designed for you! With limited spaces available, be sure to secure your spot early for just £55, which includes lunch and refreshments. Let’s come together to foster thoughtful discussions on conflict in our campuses!
