The newly formed N-TUTORR National Digital Leadership Network has launched a call for proposals for a number of strategic "horizon scanning" reports on various themes. Check out the call below. The deadline for proposal submissions is 3rd October. Please share! #TransformingLearning #NextGenerationEU
Head of the Department of Technology Enhanced Learning at Munster Technological University (MTU)
The N-TUTORR programme is proud to announce the creation of the National Digital Leadership Network (NDLN). This network will offer a collaborative platform for Ireland’s Technological University sector to address current trends and challenges in higher education, fostering the sharing of resources, strategies, and innovations. As a centre of expertise, the NDLN will draw on both internal and external expertise to provide insights and guidance on digital transformation across teaching, research, and administration functions and processes. The network is now inviting members of the digital education and education research community to submit proposals for the completion of a number of key strategic “horizon-scanning” reports. These reports should provide senior higher education leaders with guidance on specific themes and, as part of same, provide direction on how each particular theme might align to institutional and national strategic priorities. The resulting strategic reports will collectively help the network to foster digital leadership capacity in the technological university sector and to ultimately shape higher education institution policy, strategy and practice. A maximum of 12 reports will be funded by the network. The number of proposals accepted will be based on the quality of submission, and to ensure the widest coverage of themes across the network. Each applicant will be required to develop one report only based on one, or within one, of the network's selected strategic themes. The amount offered per report is expected to be a max of €10,000, depending on the scale of the proposed work. Submissions from both individual researchers and teams will be considered. Submissions welcome from Ireland, UK, EU and internationally. The deadline for the submission of proposals is October 3rd. Further details about the network's identified themes, expected outcomes and proposal formats in the attached.

President & Transformational Leader in Higher Education | Expert in Strategic Planning & Process Optimization | Pioneer in Molecular Engineering for Sustainability & Environmental Solutions
I would like to share some insights from the recent roundtable that I had the privelege to chair "Advancing Sustainability and SDGs: The Role of Universities in Fostering a Sustainable Future", and which was held during the 6th MENA Higher Education Leadership Forum organized by CLICKS' Public Programs. My heartfelt gratitude goes to two brilliant moderators who brought their expertise to our discussions: Mr. Patrick Paul Walsh, Vice President of Education at The Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Director of the SDG Academy. His insights into sustainable development and education were invaluable to our conversation. Alongside Dr. Paul, we had the inspiring Dr. Ashwin Fernandes, Executive Director for Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia at QS Quacquarelli Symonds. Dr. Fernandes' extensive experience in higher education and regional development undoubtedly enriched our understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. This vibrant discussion underscored the impressive efforts universities are making in crafting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their core missions and strategic plans. Institutions worldwide are not just teaching sustainability but are embedding it in their operations, research, and community engagements. Our conclusion was clear: Universities are uniquely positioned to drive change by transforming education and fostering a new generation of environmentally and socially conscious citizens. The commitment witnessed today is a catalyst to tangible actions, notably in shifting mindsets, raising awareness, and nurturing future leaders equipped to advocate for sustainability. #Sustainability #SDGs #HigherEducation #FutureLeaders Dr. Narimane Hadj Hamou Nick Davis Ghassan Aouad Józefa Fawcett ✪ Future Capability Architect ✪ Gulf University for Science and Technology

IN-PERSON AND ONLINE EVENT: Thursday, May 9 – Please join us and our colleagues at University of Michigan - Stephen M. Ross School of Business Center for Positive Organizations at the Positive Business Conference Amplified. Every day, organizations around the world set out to do good work—solving complex problems, addressing seemingly intractable issues, generating relational, social, and financial wealth, and finding new ways to create a better world for their communities. And every day, whatever comes, organizations around the world do their important work in the face of disruption, distress, turmoil, and turbulence. Our conference theme, “Amplifying Human Enterprise: How might we find uplift amid upheaval?” will explore how we are living and working together in this time of both grief and gratitude, upheaval and uplift. Join us in person or online for the Positive Business Conference Amplified, May 9, 2024, for a deeper exploration of how leaders can harness the potential to create supportive structures and practices that foster well-being. We will share real-world examples, evidence-based tools, and cutting-edge thinking about creating compassion, connection, purpose, and meaning as part of an organization’s ecosystem of long-term value. As an institution of higher education, we are dedicated to taking down financial barriers for learning. Find out more about student tuition and scholarship options.

Founder, Golden Global Enterprises & TTC College | Servant Leadership & Emotional Wellness | Justice-Based Innovation | Global Speaker | Award-Winning Author & Journalist
When I stood among Yosemite's fire-scarred trees this year, I realized: transformation isn't just about growth—it's about finding beauty in the process of change. 2024 brought profound transitions, from shepherding TTC College's evolution to launching Golden Global Enterprises. These moments taught me that true leadership isn't about perfect execution—it's about creating spaces where transformation can flourish. At TTC College, we built something extraordinary together. As I wrote in June: "When I look back on my career years from now, TTC College will undoubtedly stand as one of the defining achievements of my life's work." Our team proved that cultural humility and community-centered approaches can transform healthcare education. Three moments that captured our journey of transformation: "If I Could: Reflections on Leadership and Legacy" On the power of intentional transition and lasting institutional impact https://lnkd.in/gAPhh7iF "A Career-Defining Journey at TTC College" Building transformative healthcare education through cultural humility https://lnkd.in/gsEvpMf2 "Reflection on Yosemite and Leadership" Finding wisdom in nature's cycles of renewal https://lnkd.in/g3GNbf8C This year's achievements remind us that transformation requires both vision and patience: • Launched Goldenlite Academy within Golden Global Enterprises • Received CCAPP's Visionary Award for innovation in substance use disorder programs • Completed Executive Education in Strategy at Harvard Business School • Successfully transitioned leadership at TTC College while maintaining strategic oversight • Expanded reach through national speaking engagements and launch of 'Ask Dr. Golden' As we move into 2025, our focus remains clear: expanding Goldenlite Academy's impact while continuing to champion innovative approaches to healthcare education and leadership development. The journey ahead is about creating spaces where transformation meets purpose, where leaders are equipped not just to succeed, but to heal and uplift their communities. To my TTC College family, the rising leaders at Goldenlite Academy, and every individual who has been part of this transformative year: your commitment to growth and service continues to inspire our shared mission. Be Healed. Dr. Golden #Leadership #ServantLeadership #TransformationalLeadership #GoldenGlobal #BeHealed #LinkedInRewind
