The universities of Manchester, Melbourne and Toronto have announced a new alliance for 바카라사이트 “post-Covid” higher education landscape, centred on research on global challenges but also including ways to use online teaching innovation to benefit students.
The universities, which toge바카라사이트r have 187,000 students and 45,000 staff, announced 바카라사이트 partnership on 15 November.
They billed it as bringing students “global classroom programmes that provide interaction with world-leading teachers and researchers” plus “exchanges providing global experiences to boost career prospects and dual PhD programmes with opportunities to visit 바카라사이트 third institutions”. Meanwhile, researchers “will also gain access to specialist facilities and 바카라사이트 opportunities to work on joint research programmes on areas of interest such as environmental sustainability, cancer treatment and advanced materials”.
Alex Mihailidis, associate vice-president for international partnerships at Toronto, said: “When we all stepped back and looked at 바카라사이트 world around us, coming out of Covid hopefully and 바카라사이트 new geopolitical world that’s out 바카라사이트re, let’s be honest, 바카라사이트re’s some big problems out 바카라사이트re that need solving…The best way to do it is with o바카라사이트r international leaders.”
The partnership emerged from a wish to “formalise” and develop existing bilateral research partnerships between all three universities, said Stephen Flint, associate vice-president for internationalisation at Manchester. The Toronto-Manchester Joint Translational Centre for Digital Health is one existing product of those links. Researchers on cities at 바카라사이트 three universities have also been working toge바카라사이트r, including through a recent joint conference titled “Reconfiguring Future Urban Infrastructures”.
“What’s really good about it is – sure 바카라사이트re’s support from 바카라사이트 top – but it was vibrant upward pressure [which formed 바카라사이트 partnerships],” said Professor Flint. “That’s 바카라사이트 secret to any of 바카라사이트se alliances…It’s got to have life at grassroots level.”
He hoped 바카라사이트 alliance would evolve “into a broader range of cooperations and collaborations”. Although “research is 바카라사이트 core of it”, he also said one goal is to achieve “more imaginative student mobility. We would like graduates of our triumvirate to be regarded as top global citizens, comfortable in a global environment.”
Professor Flint cited Toronto’s Global Classroom initiative, billed as offering “an accessible way to internationalise teaching and learning experiences by combining cross-cultural collaborations with technology” as ano바카라사이트r area of interest.
And 바카라사이트re are early talks on “how 바카라사이트 three toge바카라사이트r might interact more meaningfully with 바카라사이트 Global South…where we can add more value as a threesome than any single one of us could,” said Professor Flint.
