HESPA Sustainability in Strategy and Planning meeting
14th July 2026
MS Teams, 11:00 - 12:00
Tom Owen Smith (the SIG co-chair) will present the SUMS University Lands report, which deploys geospatial analysis of public and open-source datasets to map the UK higher education sector for the first time. The report explores the data over four strategic themes for institutions and at sector level:
State of the sector’s land
Risks
Opportunities
Value
It is accompanied by a mapping tool which allows users to explore these questions for themselves.
Who is the report for?
Anyone who is involved in running or making decisions around university estates may find this work interesting – including estates, sustainability, finance and risk professionals, strategic planners, and university leaders and governors.
