Institute Of Welsh Affairs

An open, politically independent and inclusive space for discussion and debate is the best way to identify the challenges we face in Wales because of Covid-19, and work out where the opportunities for real change are. We are well placed to bring those voices together, and the IWA #RethinkingWales series will explore how different sectors need to respond to this crisis and how we need to start thinking differently. This week the topic of the discussion is Higher Education and the Economy  and we will be exploring two questions:  What are the immediate problems Wales faces as a result of Covid-19? What does Wales need to be thinking about in the long term? Joining us in this session: Rob Humphreys - Member of HEFCW Council and Trustee of the British Council, contributing in a  personal capacity.  Jessica Leigh Jones - Chief Executive Officer, iungo solutions. Professor Julie Lydon - Vice Chancellor of the University of South Wales and Chair of Universities Wales. Lynn Pamment - Comptroller & Auditor Ge
