The University of Brighton’s Centre for Change, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (CENTRIM), Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership, and Business East Sussex  have teamed up for a four-part webinar series aimed at offering insights and support.

The webinars have been created in response to themes emerging from sessions with businesses since the outset of the pandemic, and form part of a series of initiatives supported by the university’s Responsible Futures agenda which is committed to supporting sustainable business development and practice.

The series and CENTRIM speakers:

• 4 June: Exploiting Agility for Advantage. “Exploration of the eight types of agility, looking at when each is most likely to be efficient and effective.” Speaker, Dr David Francis

Professor Debra Humphris, the University of Brighton’s Vice-Chancellor, said: “University staff and students have volunteered to help the NHS wherever they can and we now stand with our partners to do the same for businesses which have suffered greatly through this dreadful crisis.”

Jonathan Sharrock, Chief Executive at Coast to Capital said:

“We are pleased to support the CENTRIM webinar series in collaboration with the University of Brighton and Business East Sussex. We are continuing a strong dialogue with partners on an economic recovery plan and I look forward to hearing updates from the upcoming events.”
