Summary
On November 14-15, 2016, at the initiative of PCG Academia, the second edition of the Conference Leaders in University Management LUMEN 2016 was held in Warsaw. During the Conference, the heads of the three teams selected in a government competition made the first joint presentation regarding the assumptions of Law 2.0. For the audience of 200 guests Prof. Hubert Izdebski (SWPS University), Prof. Marek Kwiek (AMU) and Arkadiusz Radwan, PhD (Allerhand Institute) discussed the competing visions for the development of higher education in Poland. The debate was moderated by Prof. Jerzy Woźnicki, President of the Polish Rectors Foundation.
Furthermore, LUMEN Conference established itself as a forum for debate and exchange of experiences in the key areas of university management. For two days, almost 30 experts representing scientific and business circles discussed topics related to student enrollment and retention, data analytics and reporting, and university accreditation. In 2016, the partners and organizers of the LUMEN Conference were joined by Microsoft Polska and the Polish Rectors Foundation headed by Prof. Jerzy Woźnicki.

Educational Analytics at Universities
On the Conference we would also want to draw attention to the key, yet often underrated, issue of cooperation between universities and secondary schools. Its significance was confirmed by the results of the pilot study regarding the enrollment of university applicants and their academic careers. The project entitled “Educational Analytics at Universities” consisted in analysis of data of 144,000 university students (10% of the population) who attended one of the ten selected universities from all over Poland between 2007 and 2012. In the course of the analysis, ten secondary schools which provided the best applicants for studies at the universities participating in the study were identified. To express their gratitude, the authorities of universities participating in the project presented the headmasters of the relevant schools with honorary distinctions during the gala evening.
