About the Event

This will be a panel discussion about the experience of embedding a user-centred design mindset into higher education institutions. The conversation will touch on a range of approaches to building maturity of UCD understanding, from how to engage senior management and influence university strategy, to how to upskill staff in UCD techniques and embed UCD techniques into grassroots processes. It will be a blend of real-life HE examples, lessons learnt, and some tips from other sectors.
