Harnessing Analytics to Build a More Sustainable Future for Higher Education
Main Stage
Overview
Understanding the social and environmental impact of higher education institutions is a multifaceted challenge that demands urgent attention. This keynote presentation tackles the intricate task of decoding sustainability within the higher education sector, highlighting the pressing need for a comprehensive, nuanced approach to understand what good looks like.
Drawing inspiration from the recently released QS World University Rankings: Sustainability, this keynote presentation will showcase how a comprehensive view of a higher education institution's sustainable footprint can be measured and how its impact can be benchmarked using data and analytics. Despite the infancy of many datasets in this field, the keynote presentation will explore ways to benchmark sustainable performance amidst these limitations.
The power of analytics is already having a transformational effect in driving real action on sustainability within the higher education sector, but there is opportunity to go further faster.
While higher education institutions possess unique operating circumstances, many strategies discussed can be readily applied to other educational settings to ensure institutions are truly achieving their intended societal impact.
