Inclusion is a major theme within the PASCAL world and a series within the Learning City Networks (LCN) program.  Over the past year, activities as part of this Inclusion series have been held in the cities of Townsville, Glasgow, Bristol, Melbourne and now Brisbane.  The topics have ranged across local government development, smart campuses to supporting young people and improving mental health through community learning.

The Centre for Global Higher Education (CGHE), the largest research centre in the world specifically focused on higher education and its future development, launched in London on 2-3 February. Based at UCL’s Institute of Education, CGHE will enable academics from across the globe to collaborate on research which will inform and improve higher education policy and practice.
