About the Event

Think Differently: Bringing Quality to Life

This year, World Quality Week takes on a fresh, forward-looking theme — “Think Differently.”

The Stirling Centre for Strategic Learning & Innovation (SCSLI) invites you to join a one-day hybrid event hosted from Forth Valley College (FVC) and streamed globally.

Together, educators, industry leaders, and student voices will explore how thinking differently can lead to real, measurable improvements — in teaching, skills, leadership, and collaboration.

The day will feature keynotes, roundtables, and interactive sessions, culminating in the official launch of the Stirling Centre for Strategic Learning & Innovation.
