Following the March 2023 Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) meeting, we wish to provide a progress update on three of the key commitments we made within the interim joint statement (dated 17 February 2023). These commitments were:
University leaders are warning that proposed reforms to post 18 education and funding in England would turn back the clock on social mobility while limiting the government’s own levelling up agenda.
These case studies have been gathered from our members, UK higher education institutions, as part of our ongoing work to strengthen the vigilance of the sector when working with international partners.
As world leaders gather for COP27, we’ve reflected on the progress universities have made on their climate commitments since COP26 – and where we need to go further.
The UK Government's proposals could hit universities in disadvantaged areas the hardest. Danail Popov and Francesco Barcellona from Frontier Economics take a look at the data.
The latest information provided by the USS Trustee suggests that the forthcoming 2023 valuation is likely to reveal a high probability of being able to improve benefits and reduce contributions.
Our publication outlines higher education sector guidance on how universities can manage security risks in their international research and innovation.
Open access publishing means making research available as widely as possible, so that knowledge is easily accessible to everyone. These are our publications from 2015 to 2019 about open access in the UK.
We need to have a conversation about how universities are funded. Universities must continue to compete on a global scale, support innovative research and teaching, and educate the next generation.
This is our response to the government's review of post-18 education and funding call for evidence in 2018. We emphasised the importance of the post-18 education system to the UK's economy, society and our ability to compete globally.
The Comprehensive Spending Review 2021 (CSR 2021) presents an opportunity to make even greater use of one of our important national assets: our universities.
