The global pandemic has made evident the fragility of activities that depend on the international mobility of staff and students. This has presented the international education community with a unique opportunity to reassess the effectiveness and efficiency of transnational activities from a social, ethical and environmental perspective.
Transnational education can offer a cost-effective option to expand the benefits of internationalisation to the 98% of non-internationally mobile student population, while also reducing the negative social and environmental impacts of international mobility such as brain drain and carbon emissions.
Join UUKi on 3-4 November to explore the role of TNE in tackling pressing global challenges that pre-dated the global pandemic, but that have been exacerbated by it, such as:
- Global warming
- Growing inequalities
- Migration
- Digital inequities
The conference will feature a range of sessions from sector leaders, international guests, government representatives and TNE experts.
