This initiative will strengthen the impact of UQ’s global network and assist collaborations that may extend teaching, learning, research innovation and government/industry engagement.
"This scheme focuses on opening up new relationships and engagement. It may ultimately lead to research but provides opportunities to develop collaborative initiatives with key strategic partners. It’s a time where important initial discussions or forums can be facilitated for future collaborations to bloom in teaching and learning or in research," said Nicole Patterson, Senior Manager, Global Strategy and Partnerships.
Building broader and deeper engagement with partners is a focus of Round 1 which opened on 24 May 2024. The deadline for submitting applications to Faculties/Institutes is 27 June 2024. Faculties/Institutes will need to provide applications (ranked by the Faculty/Institute) to Global Partnerships by 1 July 2024.
Besides the name change, this round will support non-research collaborations with several strategic partners. A second round will be launched in Semester 2, focusing on specific countries and regions.
