Join the Conversation: Rifts and Shifts with Professor Chris Day CBE
As part of this year’s NCL in Action programme, Newcastle University invites you to take part in a global conversation with our Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Chris Day CBE.
In a world shaped by shifting geopolitical landscapes, rapid technological change, economic uncertainty and the climate emergency, this is your opportunity to hear directly from Professor Day about how Newcastle is responding to these challenges - and preparing its students for the future.

Reconnect with your university community at in-person events across Southeast Asia and East Asia, where you’ll have the chance to:
- Engage in open dialogue with Professor Day about the University’s update, vision and priorities
- Ask questions about Newcastle’s evolving role in a changing world
- Explore how the University is equipping future generations to lead with resilience, innovation and purpose
- Grow your global network with fellow alumni
Together, let’s explore how we can navigate the rifts and shifts of our time - and shape a better future.
