Universities Week 2012 will be held from 30 April to 7 May. The campaign is being co-ordinated by Universities UK and British Universities & Colleges Sport.
We are looking for case studies to form the basis of our two Universities Week 2012 reports looking at the impact of higher education on the 2012 Games, the UK sports industry and UK society as a whole. Download our case study request form to ensure your institution is represented
If you have a question about a case study or anything else about Universities Week 2012, please contact us
