Membership to HUMANE is a highly cost-effective way for your university to stay up-to-date on key issues and trends in higher education, as well as to exchange and learn from senior university leaders and managers with first-hand experience of the ever changing challenges and opportunities in the sector.
We offer member institutions:
- Curated collective intelligence: safe environments to discuss complex challenges with peers who truly understand operational realities
- Succession and capability building: to future-proof your institution by developing the next generation of HR, IT or Estate Managers with international and intercultural competences
- Networked resilience: by expanding institutional partnerships to align administrative excellence with broad societal and academic impact in Europe
Member universities join a dynamic international community of high-level senior leaders and managers of professional services in the wider Europe and beyond. They have the opportunity to expand their professional networks, develop institutional partnerships, and find new ways to make a strong impact in their institution and the higher education sector.
We connect top leaders of professional services in our member universities with their colleagues, for good practice sharing and unique senior level professional networking: Heads of Administration, Registrars, Directors General, Vice-Presidents Operations, Chief Financial Officers, Senior managers and professional services leaders find a unique space to connect and work on contemporary governance, leadership and operational management of universities.
We offer significant opportunities for professional development and personal growth for the next steps in your career, to stay current with your skills, develop new skills and the expertise required to succeed in a career in professional services. Our flagship Winter and Summer School programmes and our Leadership Programme provide outstanding immersive development opportunities for ambitious future leaders.
Online discussion platforms and communities of practice are an additional opportunity to support knowledge exchange and good practice sharing among member universities, their senior leaders and managers of professional services. More information is available here.
We operate in English, yet languages should not be a deterrent to become a member institution nor to attend our events. We are an open community always striving to offer a safe space for colleagues to express themselves openly and share their experiences with senior colleagues.
