The Centre for Philanthropy has arranged three debates to discuss the role of philanthropic gifts to higher education. They will be held on the University’s Canterbury and Medway campuses, and at the British Embassy in Athens, Greece, in collaboration with the University of Kent at Athens.
Bringing together stakeholders and sceptics, the debates will focus on how funding from philanthropic sources contributes to the research, teaching, the physical environment and identity of the University of Kent.
