International Excellence in Reputation, Advocacy and Advancement for University Executive Teams   

FIND OUT MORE

For university leadership, the world is almost unrecognisable from just five years ago. Institutions must now consider their reputation through a global framework of geopolitical turbulence, resurgent culture wars, the financial imperatives of international recruitment and the challenges facing global research collaboration. 

The CASE Global Leaders Programme has been developed to provide university executive teams and academic leaders with a global appreciation of best practice, leadership and strategy across all aspects of a university’s reputation, advocacy and advancement. 

This new development opportunity will welcome curated delegate cohorts for a facilitated international exchange, including a revamped and reinvigorated CASE study tour. Each study tour will welcome international delegates to visit some of the world’s most innovative institutions and organisations in each regional market: the United States, the UK and Australia.
