ESMU-HUMANE SEVENTH WINTER SCHOOL FOR SENIOR ADMINISTRATORS

Objectives:

The aim of the Winter School is to develop the leadership potential of talented administrators by making them fully aware of the concepts and practices of strategic management in a European context and the importance of effective implementation involving integration of academic and financial issues, with human resource strategy, ICT and space management.

In addition to presentations and case studies on particular themes from distinguished speakers from various countries, participants will also work in teams on a case study, analysing data and policy options for a university, drawing on the various disciplines involved in finding solutions to the problem. At the end of the week there will be a presentation to a panel of ESMU and HUMANE members.

Who should apply:

The Winter School is designed for talented managers of administration or services, some of whom might become heads of administration. The typical candidate will be someone with the potential to become a head of administration in the future but who at this moment may not be a deputy or senior colleague. He or she may be an expert or a specialist who has the potential to broaden responsibility and move in due course to a senior management position.

Application informations:

Applications from interested candidates, nominated by their Head of Administration, should be sent to Anja Busch, programmes@esmu.be (Tel.: +32 2 289 24 62) by 20 October 2008.

The Winter School will be administered by ESMU. The fee for the week-long course will be 3,400 €. It includes fees for tuition, all documentation and accommodation but excludes travel costs. A higher fee (3,900 €) will apply for non-HUMANE members.
