In 2 days,we launch the Abi-Saab Foundation for IL and Social Justice to honor his legacy.

Drawn from today’s 8am HE Playbook: LSE’s Centre for Economic Performance shows need for more graduates in strategic sectors for growth. Creative industries worth £126 billion+employ 2.4 million: trained by Arts+Humanities academics. Cuts to A+H are cuts to our national economy.
