Vice-chancellor of Harper Adams University in the UK Professor Ken Sloan joins Martin Betts this week for the inaugural episode of a new series presented in partnership between HEDx and the Global Federation of Competitiveness Councils. This series will explore global universities that are driving place-based innovation, building on earlier episodes with Aleks Subic, Deborah L. Wince-Smith, and Joan Gabel. With his extensive experience at Warwick and Monash universities, Professor Sloan has redefined Harper Adams' approach to rural place-based innovation within its specialised agricultural setting.
