Event details
Who should attend this event?
We would like to invite the academic community to help further shape the Exeter 2050 vision, which will ultimately form an important part of the University’s overarching research strategy going forwards for 2015-2020. This overarching research strategy will also be very much future-focused on a global vision for the University. We will also need to consider how the REF results may influence the vision for Exeter 2050.
A similar session will be held in Exeter on 16 January 2015.
