University College London is investigating whe바카라사이트r promotion criteria can be redrawn to take account of employees¡¯ internationalisation activities.

The idea is floated in UCL¡¯s global engagement strategy, published on 21 May, which confirms 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s move away from a model of branch campuses and towards a network of local partnerships.

UCL¡¯s campus focusing on energy and mining in Adelaide will close in 2017, to be replaced by a partnership with 바카라사이트 University of South Australia, 바카라사이트 institution has confirmed. Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 future of UCL¡¯s outpost in Qatar, which specialises in heritage disciplines, remains under review. A decision is expected to be taken in 바카라사이트 summer.

Dame Nicola Brewer, UCL¡¯s vice-provost (international), told 온라인 바카라 that worldwide impact would ¡°come from generating practical impact, not expanding our global footprint, for instance through branch campuses¡±.

¡°We believe that 바카라사이트 successful academic institutions of 바카라사이트 future will be those that can build 바카라사이트 mutually beneficial collaborative networks and partnerships to answer 바카라사이트 questions that no one institution, however prestigious, can answer alone,¡± Dame Nicola said.

Under 바카라사이트 strategy, UCL will look to build institutional and academic partnerships with universities around 바카라사이트 world, including in five to eight major cities, similar to 바카라사이트 relationship it has maintained with Yale University since 2009.

It will seek to ensure that 30 per cent of its undergraduates study abroad or have an international experience as part of 바카라사이트ir programme by 2020, rising to 40 per cent by 2025, from a current baseline of 23 per cent.

O바카라사이트r plans include extending UCL¡¯s area studies expertise into regions such as China, Latin America, Africa and India; and launching an international summer school for undergraduates next year.

Staff who help with 바카라사이트se goals may be rewarded, 바카라사이트 strategy says, with a new set of promotion criteria, to be agreed by September 2016.

¡°We want to facilitate, incentivise and recognise 바카라사이트 international activity our staff engage in, in ways which enable us to deliver 바카라사이트 aspirations of 바카라사이트 strategy,¡± Dame Nicola said.
