We believe that innovation and progress comes from sharing new ideas and perspectives.
Our colleagues are cosmopolitan, outward-looking and always learning. We originate from nine countries and four continents. We work across disciplines to develop new ideas and forge lasting partnerships. Join or partner with us and you’ll be part of a community that's helping to develop industry-changing insights.
Our colleagues are committed to producing outputs and insights which ask new questions and offer new solutions to the industries we inform. The collaborative, interdisciplinary work we do has impact both nationally and internationally, and ensures we help shape the future of these vital sectors.
"Women get paid less, are less well represented in senior positions and are less satisfied with their careers in the events industry than are men. However, there are also examples of events organisations and individual professionals who are trying to change this by working more collaboratively to reduce any persistent inequalities."
"The research undertaken for the OECD Tourism Secretariat reflects how highly regarded many of my colleagues are among key stakeholders. In this case, Professor Parsons and Dr Choi are leading important work on digital skills in the sector that is likely to be highly influential post-pandemic’."
Join our school and you’ll be working and studying with colleagues who have devoted years to understanding and improving industry practice and culture. From award-winning teaching to prize-winning papers and highly-regarded projects, we make a difference in many different ways.
"No group or individual should be disadvantaged because of historical social patterns and stereotypical beliefs, and as a numerically female dominated sector, the events industry has a special obligation to try to ensure that we offer a fair and enabling environment for everyone."
"A Special Interest Group or SIG brings together ATLAS members who share an interest in a particular topic or theme. It is a way of creating a network, managing communications and advancing critical thinking and impactful research on a specific area within tourism and hospitality."
“It is very satisfying that colleagues have received such positive endorsement from their peers internationally and from employers. We invest significant time and energy in trying to create a positive educational and research environment and this kind of recognition is very encouraging.”
