The World 100 shares the key themes from our Reputation and external relations at the top table of university leadership webinar

This webinar will explore some of the latest trends in the measurement of reputation, with World 100 member universities sharing their experiences.

The World 100 Reputation Academy is an intensive practical reputation training programme that has helped over 100 practitioners from universities around the world to develop an holistic understanding of university reputation. We’ve put together five of the key benefits of attending.

The World 100 was set up to help the world’s best universities improve and manage their reputations. As a result, we’ve accumulated years of knowledge on the key ways to do so and, although we can’t share them all, we’ve narrowed it down to five key areas that can help you see the biggest impact.

Our invitation-only interactive webinar brings together specialists in reputation management with tangible experience in getting these discussions happening at the most senior levels and how this can impact your whole reputation strategy.
