Membership to HUMANE is a highly cost-effective way for your university to stay up-to-date on key issues and trends in higher education, as well as to exchange and learn from senior university leaders and managers with first-hand experience of the ever changing challenges and opportunities in the sector.
We offer member universities a dynamic international community of high-level senior leaders and managers of professional services in the wider Europe and beyond, the opportunity to expand professional networks, to develop institutional partnerships, and to find new ways to make a strong impact in your institution and in higher education.
We connect top leaders of professional services in our member universities with their colleagues, for good practice sharing and unique senior level professional networking: our membership includes Heads of Administration, Registrars, Directors General, Vice-Presidents Operations, Chief Financial Officers, Senior managers and staff from professional services find a unique space to connect with these top leaders, experienced professionals and specialists to work on the contemporary governance, leadership and operational management of universities.
We offer significant opportunities for professional development and personal growth for the next steps in your career, to stay current with your skills, develop new skills and the expertise required to succeed in a career in professional services. Our flagship Winter and Summer Schools provide outstanding immersive development opportunities to ambitious future leaders.
We operate in English, yet languages should not be a deterrent to become a member nor to attend our events. We are an open community always striving to offer a safe space for colleagues to express themselves openly and share their experiences with senior colleagues.
