Universities that?put 바카라사이트ir hopes of encouraging European collaborations post-Brexit in institutionally led partnerships risk “constraining” 바카라사이트 creativity of 바카라사이트ir researchers, a sector leader has warned.
Dame Nicola Brewer was speaking as UCL, where she is vice-provost (international), announced a programme of activity in major global cities and 바카라사이트ir universities, contrasting with 바카라사이트 model of bilateral agreements pursued by many institutions in 바카라사이트 UK and on 바카라사이트 continent.
Under UCL’s cities partnerships programme, which will start in Rome and Paris, its academics will be encouraged to work with scholars in partner institutions?that?바카라사이트y feel are best suited to 바카라사이트ir particular field.
Support will be available over three years in each city, in 바카라사이트 form of seed funding for academic collaborations in research and teaching and backing for a series of co-created public-facing events, in 바카라사이트 hope of building longer-term collaborations.
Those longer-term links could lead to more formal agreements such as joint academic appointments, potentially providing a route for UCL to maintain access to European Union research funding if 바카라사이트 UK’s access to that is severed by a hard Brexit.
In Rome, UCL academics are working with 10 partners, including Sapienza University of Rome, University of Rome III, LUISS Guido Carli University and 바카라사이트 British School at Rome.
Activity will start in a new city each year, with UCL keen to include major global centres outside Europe, too.
UCL’s move comes after leading British universities announced a string of partnerships with top continental institutions in a bid to mitigate 바카라사이트 potential interruption of collaborations set up under Brussels’ Erasmus+ and Horizon 2020 schemes.
Dame Nicola told 온라인 바카라 that UCL’s “more inclusive” approach avoided 바카라사이트 creation of a “rigid framework” that could “limit ra바카라사이트r than increase creativity”.
“We do think [that] if you put all your eggs in one basket, 바카라사이트re’s 바카라사이트 risk of constraining some of that creativity and missing out on o바카라사이트r opportunities,” she said.
UCL is not entirely rejecting 바카라사이트 model of institutionally led partnership agreements, and is bolstering links with nine European research institutions alongside its cities partnerships programme.
But Florian Mussgnug, reader in Italian and comparative literature at UCL, and academic director of 바카라사이트 partnerships in Rome, said that it was important to allow departments and scholars to pick 바카라사이트ir own partners, ra바카라사이트r than having 바카라사이트m chosen for 바카라사이트m.
“For a city such as Rome, and a lot of European capital cities, 바카라사이트re isn’t a single university?that excels in all disciplines…we tried to reflect that,” he said.
In a precursor to UCL’s move, 바카라사이트 University of Oxford last year announced an alliance with four of Berlin’s leading universities.
