HESPA is the sector body for strategy and planning professionals in UK higher education. We support our members by providing opportunities to establish and maintain networks, engage in professional development, and to influence the sector both individually and with a collective voice. Our members are responsible for a wide range of activities, and we connect them with like-minded peers to enable best practice to flow across the sector.

An Interest Group is a group of planners with a common interest who wish to engage in work in that particular area. This involves sharing best practice, keeping people up to date with developments in the field, offering professional development for planners, promoting the planning voice within and outside of the sector.
This is where you can find recordings and slides from previous events, as well as resources contributed by our members on various topics.
Our active discussion forums are a great place to connect with fellow planners, and share ideas, ask questions and generally feel part of the wider planning community. It is open to all so please do come and join in with the chat!
