If you could do one thing to change the university, what would it be? Our panel of radical thinkers from inside and outside the University will each suggest a 'big idea' to make the university a better - and happier - place. We'll also be asking the audience for their big ideas for a brighter future for higher education. 

This is a free event, but you'll need to register for a ticket at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/imagine-the-university-five-bright-ideas-tickets-18480215823

The Happy University

This series takes up the call initiated by the the Happy City Index that new measures of prosperity and action on well-being and sustainability are urgently needed. In order for individuals, institutions and society to thrive, we need to go beyond economic measurements of success. It is up to us - people, businesses, institutions and communities - to imagine something better. Building on the University of Bristol's commitment to be an engaged university, a series of lively public debates and workshops will explore what a happy university might look like in the context of a happy city.  Imagine a diverse, accessible, sustainable university firmly rooted in the lives of Bristol's communities - how might we put it into practice, together?
