1st EUPRIO Directors-Briefing
Workshop programme

This webinar is an opportunity to discuss together and exchange opinions about the future of our universities at a strategic level.

The theme: Leading, organising and developing new ideas in the digital office

The digital office has not only been a topic since the Corona crisis. In the past 10 months, managers in particular have discovered that the digital office works well when it comes to organising routine processes, but that it always becomes complicated and difficult when you want to develop new things and when you have to coach your colleagues remotely. In this short webinar, Prof. Isabell M. Welpe (TU Munich, Strategy and Organisation) reveals how you can use the digital office creatively and not lose touch with your team members.

 

Organisation: Prof. Welpe will give a presentation (40 minutes) followed by a discussion with the participants (20 minutes).

Briefing for Directors of communications
Stakeholder Management – Successfully position your university in politics, economy and society

Universities are under pressure, both financially and politically. To establish a strong position, communications directors must implement smart, comprehensive stakeholder management to ensure all target groups are addressed. Politicians must recognise the value that higher education institutions bring to the economy and to society and acknowledge that they are worth funding. We must use targeted communication to demonstrate the benefits and impact of universities. This would benefit the economy, politics and society. To achieve this, we need to collaborate with partners from various groups, including alumni, employees, and, most importantly, elected representatives of the people, i.e. politicians. Everyone must be integrated into our network and receive the appropriate messages and information. During the workshop, we will receive input and discuss best practices.

As the leaders responsible for your university’s communication strategy, you play a vital role in shaping how your institution is perceived by society, politics, and the economy. In close collaboration with your Rector or President, you contribute directly to the strategic direction of your university and represent communication at the leadership table.
