As COVID-19 continues to challenge every aspect of universities and life in general, we revisit our Taking the Temperature of COVID-19 survey.

We hosted webinars for our experts to discuss the data collected in March, and examine how 65 leading global universities have managed reputation and stakeholders so far during the COVID-19 crisis.

On Thursday the 23rd April Mark Sudbury was joined by Chair of the W100 Committee, Andrea Farquhar for a webinar focussing on communications in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Wednesday the 18th of March 2020 we hosted our inaugural webinar: How to maximise your reputation from international partnerships.

W100 members recently received the final report of the 'Riding the Tiger: Enhancing the Role of Reputation in international partnerships' research project. The report reflects key findings that international partnerships provide great opportunities – often under-exploited at present – to build global profile; whilst also presenting a risk that they will turn around and bite you if partners suffer reputational damage.

King’s College London was the suitably impressive venue for the 2019 W100 Tracker Symposium on 27th November with colleagues from member universities discussing how the tracker is being used and providing constructive feedback on enabling more effective data collection.

Our 2018/2019 Research project aimed to answer some key questions around the role of reputation in international partnerships. Members can download the full report here.
