2024 Future Campus Awards
In recognition of key achievements by university staff in Australia and New Zealand, the Future Campus HE FEST 24 Awards will recognise the nation’s leading work in AI and Advancement over the past year.
The awards, to be judged by an eminent panel of sector experts, will be presented at the HE FEST conference dinner on 12 September 2024.
We have chosen to bring together awards which recognise excellence in all aspects of generative AI use, expanding the frontiers of student experience, knowledge generation and efficiency and also work in Advancement, encompassing marketing, fundraising, communications and recruitment. Achievements in both of these areas requires input from multiple disciplines, and participation and contributions by both professional and academic staff.
We believe these two areas of AI and Advancement are critical to the future perceptions, efficiency, effectiveness and success of higher education and are also both under-recognised as enablers of change.
Future Campus, the news source produced by and for Australasian HE, intends to make these awards an annual event.
