Abstract

The ALDinHE Steering Group establishes and leads the work of the association, on behalf of its members. There are currently 17 members, which include Working Group Chairs, members without portfolio, the Chair, Deputy Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. Our strategy prioritises transparency, communication, and co-creation with the community. This mini keynote was an opportunity to discuss the ALDinHE strategy as well as share views, opinions, and thoughts about what ALDinHE does well, what it might improve and things it could start doing. Nothing was off the mini keynote table – we wanted to hear from you!

 

Questions:

1) What does ALDinHE do well? (do you want more of this?)

2) What could ALDinHE do better?

3) What should be on ALDinHE’s To Do List?
