The Adapting to Disruptive Times: Emerging Models for HE Provision Conference was held by the University of London International Programmes and the Observatory in November 2011. The aim of the conference was to discuss disruptive challenges to higher education, how the sector is adapting, the role of new players, and to perform some informed 'crystal ball-gazing'.
