Event Details

The Pentland Centre is hosting a virtual common room on the importance of engagement between higher education institutions and government.

High education institutions have been increasing their engagement with government as the new parliament begins. Lancaster University is no exception, but why is engagement important? We will be looking at the benefits of interaction with Whitehall, Westminster, and the wider policy ecosystem and how Lancaster University is having a positive impact on the national policy debates.

The session will take place from 11:00 to 12:00 on Teams.

Lancaster University staff welcome!
