Advance HE Membership Benefits 2020-21
Whilst we are committed to providing continuity in key member services, Covid-19 has impacted every aspect of institutional operations and daily life has been turned on its head. Our members have asked us to ensure that the features of membership are responsive and focus on supporting the unprecedented challenges faced over the coming year. Working with members we will shape our grants, publications, events, webinars, advice and guidance to ensure they are needs-driven and provide real impact.
Advance HE accreditation options
Advance HE Membership includes one or more of the following accreditation package options, helping to provide assurance to your stakeholders that your institution strives for excellence.
Advance HE brings us together as a sector to help tackle the ‘bigger than us’ challenges. Initiatives that support sector-wide enhancement such as Athena SWAN, the Professional Standards Framework, Race Equality Charter, and the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme, add real value and strengthen us all. In the current climate it feels more important than ever for the sector to find means to collaborate to address the challenges we face, and Advance HE can help us achieve this together.”Professor Becky Huxley-Binns, PVC Education, University of Hull
