This first summit is open to Australian based university academics and professional staff with places fully funded by the Office of Learning and Teaching (OLT).
Higher education in Australia – managing in times of great change
Dr Geoff Sharrock
Since Education Minister Christoper Pyne announced his reforms in the May budget, Australian universities have been preparing for their biggest shake-up ever. If passed, the reforms would see cuts to student subsidies, fee deregulation, and access to Commonwealth funding for private sector providers in the non-university sector.

Emerging Leaders and Managers Program
The Emerging Leaders and Managers Program is designed for new and aspiring tertiary education managers to develop their skills, knowledge and capacities to lead and manage effectively in the current and rapidly changing environment.
This program will be available in two delivery options in 2015, either within guided sponsored cohorts for institutions or as individual guided study.
Guided Sponsored Cohorts
This program can be run for institutions as a sponsored guided cohort as part of a broader integrated organisational development program. Participants in these cohorts complete four online study modules together with the bridging program which consists of a series of face-to-face workshops and a final work based project, alongside colleagues selected by their institution or regional sponsor. Institutions can also partner with other institutions to reduce costs and develop wider networks in their region.
Individual Guided Study
Participants enrol in one 8-week module at a time, and modules are moderated by volunteers who are senior Association for Tertiary Education Management (ATEM) members. Online modules commence on a regular basis. Registration is free to members of ATEM.
A bridging pathway is available for individuals wishing to consolidate their learning after the completion of all four online modules and assessment tasks. The bridging pathway consists of a workshop and a work based project and is seen as a cost effective entry to LH Martin Institute’s Graduate Certificate Programs, awarded by The University of Melbourne. These workshops will be run in April and October to enable enrolment into the Graduate Certificate programs at the beginning of the following semester.

Higher Education Policy Seminar
Tertiary Education Workforce
This free public seminar will ask, ‘Has Australia the imagination and will to create and maintain international pre-eminence in higher education?’
The tertiary education workforce is an increasingly important component of the national economy, as participation in education increases. Yet this workforce is also ageing rapidly, with few opportunities for new entrants in a tight financial environment.
What are the prospects for Australia’s tertiary teaching, research and professional workforce? What are the opportunities and challenges we can expect over the next five years?
Key issues must be tackled across the next few years if these ambitions are to be realised.
Join Margaret Sheil,Robert Griew, Julie Steiner and Leo Goedegebuure to discuss. Chaired by: Shirley Alexander and Hamish Coates.
Jointly presented by the Centre for the Study of Higher Education and the LH Martin Institute for Tertiary Education Leadership and Management.
Thursday 30 October, 6:00-8:00pm,Venue: University of Technology Sydney, 115 Broadway, Broadway (Sydney) Room 405, Entrance level of the new Engineering and IT Building (CB11.00.405)
