Institutional transformation

"In preparation for the post-pandemic era, university leadership will certainly play a central role in steering a new vision for their institutions, but also in seizing opportunities to assist with the post Covid-19 recovery."
In 2021, EUA conducted two surveys (one addressed to senior leadership at higher education institutions and one to national university associations) to gather feedback on institutional transformation and leadership development at universities in Europe.
This report provides a synthesis of the key reflections and takeaways from the two NEWLEAD focus groups on leadership development and institutional transformation that were organised in 2022. The focus groups brought together senior higher education executives interested in further enhancing their leadership skills and aimed at identifying which sort of leadership training is needed to underpin big transformations in higher education.
This report aims to provide a comprehensive picture on leadership development and institutional transformation in higher education systems across Europe. The report also intends to contribute to a meaningful conversation on the importance of capacity-building for higher education leaders as an enabler to support the post-pandemic institutional adaptation and transformation.

"Hope is the cornerstone of leadership, and universities are hopeful by definition. (...) The current changing environment can be approached from two different perspectives: the managerial approach which focuses on solving problems in the short-term, or the hope-based leadership approach which signals a future-oriented direction that provides purpose and clarity."

"To ensure institutional success, synergies need to be established between the academic and non-academic professionals, as the different backgrounds and skill sets have the potential to form an effective and valuable leadership team that draws on a wide range of experience and expertise, allowing different viewpoints to be considered."

This report is another NEWLEAD project output exploring the transformation agenda in the higher education context and leadership styles. The report concludes that leadership styles that promote engagement, service, collaboration, and inclusion, especially when directed toward shared purpose or intentionality, have potential better fit and efficacy.

It describes in more detail some of the challenges that higher education leaders face in this context, such as governance and coordination, institutional culture, awareness and visibility, training and development, and data collection and analysis.

"While female students make up half of enrolments in higher education globally, the number of women in leadership positions does not (yet) reflect their growing participation rate. This means that societal and systemic barriers to women rising to the top remain in place, and are even increasing in some parts of the world."

NEWLEAD: Innovative Leadership and Change Management in Higher Education
Follow our hashtag #Unileaders_eu
Today, higher education institutions are tasked with multiple and challenging roles. They accommodate evolving student expectations, address changing labour market needs and sustainability pressures, and face unexpected challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic. In this demanding context, the NEWLEAD project aims to build the capacity of university leaders in steering change and in addressing new priorities on the institutional transformation agenda. NEWLEAD is led by the University Ramon Llull (URL) in Barcelona, in partnership with a diverse consortium including EUA. The project ran from September 2020 until August 2023.
