Conference overview
Financial resilience is now a whole-of-university responsibility.
How can universities protect their academic mission while building the financial resilience required to thrive in a rapidly changing higher-education environment?
Universities across South Africa, Africa and internationally face unprecedented financial pressure: constrained public funding, rising operating costs, growing student debt, revenue leakage, infrastructure demands and rising expectations for quality education.
Over two days, senior university leaders and finance professionals will work through practical strategies for revenue recovery, cost control, leakage reduction and new income development, grounded in current African and international trends, real South African case studies, and executive panel discussion.
