Welcome from Tristan Aitken, Chief People Officer and Director of SIRC and Legal Services |
|---|
I am delighted to share on this site details of the 20th Irish University Association (IUA) HR conference to be hosted by UCD. We have chosen as our conference theme ‘the revolution of work’ to reflect the huge changes and challenges the higher education sector is facing in terms of attracting and retaining the most essential element of universities, our people. Peter Cosgrove, Futurewise, will set the scene on the future of work with a range of plenary and parallel sessions exploring the myriad of challenges and opportunities the HE sector faces.
I am really looking forward to welcoming you to the first in person IUA HR conference for 3 years and I am sure the speakers, debate, and opportunities to network at our conference dinner will make this a memorable and useful experience. So, book your place today and together we can explore what the revolution of work has in store for our organisations and our roles.
Finally, a big thank you to our headline sponsors Affinity Advisers, Arthur Cox and WTW.
