This is an online webinar. The session is free of charge and will be conducted in English.
The increasing complexity of the challenges that societies are facing today demand collaborative approaches in attempts to find solutions to them. The advent of Covid-19 has shown us that increasingly the challenges we face today do not respect national borders and the best chance we have of responding to them is by coming together through innovative partnerships to find solution to them. These global challenges require the bringing together of capabilities from a wide range of actors representing all aspects of society and from all parts of the world. As the world emerges from the pandemic, it is a critical time to raise awareness of the vital purpose of higher education partnerships in supporting the UK’s and East Asia’s plans for economic and social recovery and stability, and to engage in discourse that supports and creates an enabling environment for UK-East Asia higher education partnerships to take root and flourish.
- What will UK-East Asia higher education partnerships look like as the sector emerges from this pandemic?
- What will be the key drivers of government and institutional policies for higher education partnerships and internationalization moving forward?
- How can the current challenges present opportunities for the higher education sector to recover and reimagine collaborations?
