Presented by Virginia Haussegger, the face of Canberra's ABC TV News since 2001, the Forum explored what universities can do to close a gap highlighted by the Gonski Report (which estimated a 30% gap in education outcomes between regional and metropolitan students).

The panellists also discussed how they can meet the needs of regional Australia by producing skilled graduates who are workforce-ready, and the role they play in regional development and sustainability.
