DVC Dialogues

DVC Dialogues bring together Deputy Vice-Chancellors and other senior university leaders from across the globe to discuss the issues impacting their institutions, staff and students.

Created to respond to our members need to come together to discuss the key issues facing the sector, each episode teases out opinion on a different topic that is shaping practice, challenging leaders and impacting students and staff.

Throughout the series, you will hear from global university leaders who represent different parts of the wider sector across eight different episodes. 

The series kicks off with two episodes exploring Generative AI. Thank you to Professor David Sadler, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Education at the University of Western Australia and Professor Osama Khan, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Academic at Aston University for joining us with an in-depth consideration of the current challenges and future opportunities.
