We are inviting staff to contribute to conversations about emerging opportunities and areas of focus for Academic Ambition and Health at this Town Hall event.

Join collaborative conversations on our Academic Ambition and Health Strategy led by Professor Paola Lettieri, Vice-Provost (Strategy), Professor Geraint Rees (RIGE) and Professor Ibrahim Abubakar, Pro-Provost (Health). Professor of Healthcare Engineering, Rebecca Shipley will Chair the discussions.

The Academic Ambition and Health Strategy conversations are university-wide conversations about how we maintain and build our academic excellence beyond the next 10-20 years. In dialogue with our community, we aim to identify academic opportunities with the greatest potential for development and investment that will create impact at scale.

This Town Hall continues the conversations we have been having across our faculties. These early discussions and emerging ideas will help us as we work towards developing the next UCL Strategy, starting in 2027, and ensure it is academically led from the start of its discussion and development.

All staff are invited to the Town Hall, which may be of particular interest to those working in research and education (academic or support staff at any stage of their career), innovation and enterprise, postgraduate researchers, clinical and technical staff.

Please note that the Town Hall will be held in-person only to facilitate discussion sessions, networking and Q&A. There will be light refreshments following the main sessions.

The panel includes:

Dr Michael Spence, President & Provost
Professor Ibrahim Abubakar, Pro-Provost (Health)

Professor Paola Lettieri FREng, Vice-Provost (Strategy)

Professor Geraint Rees, Vice-Provost (RIGE)

Chair: Professor Rebecca Shipley
