UCU Congress 2024 reflections

The UCU Congress is over for another year! Thank you for all your support, hard work and efforts over the last twelve months. Exciting motions have been passed and we want to press on with purpose to meet the targets and goals that have been set by working together to achieve more. 

We know there will be challenges and obstacles to overcome but we are committed to supporting members, staff and stakeholders to realise positive outcomes in the weeks and months ahead.

Look out for further details on 100 day plans and how to register for member briefings across Birmingham, London, Manchester and Glasgow, as well as information on our next Reclaim Higher Education campaign live event, plus updates about our New Deal for further education and prison education campaigns which will be shared in the coming weeks.

We want to take the opportunity to do something a bit different and have recorded video messages reflecting upon current progress, and our future plans and hopes:

In solidarity
