Our conference in October 2021, will be fully online using a professional online conference platform. We are very excited about the opportunities that this creates and also the fact that this makes our conference more accessible to colleagues from around the global Lean HE community, who would otherwise have been unable to attend. This very much aligns with our conference theme of Collaborate, Innovate and Celebrate and truly reflects the global nature of Lean HE.

We will also be able to record the live sessions and make them available on the conference platform for you to access at a time and place which is convenient for you.

The University of Strathclyde has a long standing commitment to continuous improvement, which is underpinned by our University Values of being People-Oriented, Ambitious, Bold, Collaborative and Innovative. I believe that these values are also very much aligned to the two pillars of Lean: Respect for People and Continuous Improvement.

I have no doubt that we will deliver an outstanding experience for all conference delegates and we look forward to welcoming you virtually to the University of Strathclyde and the wonderful city of Glasgow in October 2021.
