We’re also delighted that Dr Helena Lim, Academic Lead at evasys, will be attending the Symposium in person. Helena is looking forward to engaging with delegates and discussing how evasys can support their institutions in tackling the very challenges the event will explore.

evasys plays a crucial role in helping academic leaders respond to complexity with the clarity provided through our survey and insights platform:

  • Targeted insights from large-scale data: evasys enables universities to quickly capture, process and analyse feedback from thousands of students, highlighting patterns, pain points and opportunities.

  • Mental health and wellbeing: Our surveys can be used to identify wellbeing challenges among students, allowing for timely and appropriate interventions.

  • Advanced AI-powered analysis: Through our partnership with Student Voice AI, evasys delivers sentiment analysis trained specifically for the higher education sector. Open-text responses are automatically categorised and themed, offering an unprecedented depth of understanding from qualitative feedback.

  • Driving engagement and retention: Institutions using evasys are better equipped to listen to and act on student voices. This fosters a more resilient, inclusive and supportive community, leading to improved student success and retention.
