Newcastle University Business School is known for its academic ambition, distinctive community and global influence in building a responsible future for both business and society. As a triple-accredited School, we are committed to improving business thinking, and making a difference on a global scale through our research, investment in students, and collaboration with business. We pride ourselves on an academic culture based on shared enquiry and discovery – a hub of excellence and endeavour where individuals learn from and collaborate with peers, experts and business leaders. We are part of Newcastle University, a global University with a proud history of over 180 years. Through our world-class civic university status, we forge far-reaching networks that unite opportunities, people and cultures, and strive to define the future of business.

The Business School is based at the University’s brand-new development, the Helix. The Helix fulfils three key functions for the University and the region:

The site itself is a living laboratory. Projects and experiments run at scale, in real time. Infrastructure, urban planning, data, and ageing are themes of our research at Helix.
By being located alongside businesses, it helps close the gap between academic research and commercial innovation.
New buildings increase our capacity for research, education and engagement, offering world class experiences.
As a result, the conference will take place at a very vibrant place that is situated at the heart of Newcastle City Centre.
