This year’s conference theme is:

The Global Financial Crisis has drawn attention to the importance of universities having business sustainability strategies in place to ensure business continuity. Many universities globally have lost significant sources on income through diminished investment returns that have the potential to impact the quality of teaching and research and even the image of the university as a desirable destination for local and international students. Universities are starting on a new journey, exploring the benefits of innovative business practices, including outsourcing and shared services and the benefits of collaboration. There is a renewed focus on understanding the University as a Business. So, how far “over the Horizon” are universities prepared to go to adopt business innovation in developing their Road Maps for Business Sustainability?
