Aspen UK is delighted to announce a new partnership with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. The new association will mean Aspen UK will host its world-renowned leadership seminars at the University’s Lampeter campus for the next three years.
Aspen UK Seminars bring together leaders from across geographical and generational spectrums, and from across the corporate, political, creative, academic, and third sectors, to discuss, reflect, and debate. The seminars encourage leaders to address their own ideas and values, and to explore effective solutions to pressing social issues.
On formalising the partnership, Aspen UK CEO Penny Richards said:
“We’re so delighted to be bringing our Aspen UK seminars to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and to Lampeter. We strive to represent the whole of the UK in all we do – with our speakers, participants, fellows and partners, and this new relationship in Wales is a great manifestation of that. We know we will learn a lot from the university, and everyone connected with this partnership.”
The first seminar takes place from 13 to 15 October 2022. As well as the formal seminar sessions, participants from across Wales and the whole of the UK will enjoy a programme of cultural events to showcase the best that Lampeter has to offer, curated by the University.
Gwilym Dyfri Jones, Provost of the University’s Lampeter and Carmarthen campuses said: “The University looks forward to working with Aspen UK and to host their world-renowned leadership seminars. We are delighted that Aspen UK has chosen to come to our Lampeter campus which will enable participants to benefit from the excellent teaching and learning facilities, as well as the unique campus environment. Lampeter is a very special place and it is wonderful to welcome new students to the campus during our bicentenary year”.
