Building stronger, more inclusive, internationally connected higher education systems.
Going Global Partnerships builds stronger, more inclusive, internationally connected higher education systems. This British Council programme supports partnerships between universities, colleges, education policy makers, civil society organisations and industry partners in the UK and around the world.
Through Going Global Partnerships, you can:
- Build relationships and share good practice with international partners on topics such as transnational education, employer engagement and more
- Develop scientific collaboration and gain pilot or early stage funding for research partnerships focused on climate change, public health and other subjects
- Access grant funding for collaborative partnerships that support quality, inclusion and innovation in higher education delivery.
At a system-level, the programme brings together policymakers and practitioners to support international co-operation in higher education – for example by developing mutual recognition of qualifications and quality assurance agreements.
Programme goals
By building stronger international connections, Going Global Partnerships strengthens higher education systems, enables research collaboration, internationalises institutions, enhances student outcomes and supports inclusion.
The overall expected outcomes of the programme focus on:
- Enabling research: supporting research, knowledge, and innovation collaboration to address local and global challenges and promote inclusive growth
- Internationalising higher education institutions: creating an enabling environment and supporting institutions and individuals to benefit from internationalisation
- Strengthening higher education systems: improving the quality and efficiency of institutions and systems
- Enhancing student outcomes: improving the qualities of global graduates (e.g., soft skills, employability, community outcomes).
