Now more than ever, universities need to fast-track their role as global hubs of innovation by harnessing their knowledge, resources, people and facilities to address the socio-economic and technological challenges of COVID-19.
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.
This session will explore
- 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?
