Lean HE Annual Conference 2025: Lean In, Improve Together

International Conference

Our annual international conference brings together people applying lean in universities (in everything that they do), to learn and improve. Our annual event is held around the end of October, cycling between our three continental divisions.

Join us next for a blended conference experience in 2025

Lean In, Improve Together

We last gathered at The University of Cambridge 2024

Sustainability in Lean: Bridging innovation and tradition

The chosen theme for Lean HE 2024 was "Sustainability in Lean: bridging innovation and tradition". In an ever-evolving educational landscape, it's crucial to adapt, innovate, and streamline processes to enhance student experiences and institutional effectiveness. Lean HE 2024 provided a platform for thought-provoking discussions, inspiring keynotes, and interactive workshops that delved into the heart of Lean and its application in higher education.

Future Conferences

Interested in hosting a future conference?

The annual international conference is proposed by each continental division and awarded by the Steering Group to a conference host that best meets the aims of the Lean HE.

In exchange, the steering group provides guidance based on feedback from previous events and their shared expertise, to help support a conference programme that is increasingly relevant to the needs of lean practitioners in HE today, and offers the most value we can.

Please let the chair of your local continental division committee know if you are interested in hosting a Lean HE conference in the future.
