Question 1

We have signed partnerships in the past that resulted in little more than a photo opportunity. How do we ensure our next international collaboration translates into tangible academic outcomes?

Accepted Answer

This is the central challenge our entire process is designed to solve. We believe a partnership is only successful if it ensures some activity or began with a program. We ensure this by starting with a deep alignment of academic goals and by co-designing a clear, achievable "first activity" like a joint webinar. virtual guest lecture series, or an immersion programs which is launched within the first few months.
