Be a Part of Our CoP – ITL Conference: Your Voice Matters
By Vienne Lin
After three years of cross-institutional collaboration with HKUST, HKBU and SJTU, we are happy to have an international conference as a nice coda to our CoP – ITL’s project. Internationalisation of Higher Education: Practices, Sustainability and Impact is the theme of our conference and will resonate throughout the conference programme through many different interactive sessions, including invited speeches, expert and student panels, world café, campfire, marketplaces, and showcase case examples. In particular, we want to create a safe and inclusive space for you to explore and exchange your thoughts. And your voice does matter! Please feel free to share with us your practices, opportunities, concerns, and challenges when it comes to internationalisation.
- Challenges or difficulties you experience or foresee in internationalisation in higher education (or of teaching and learning)
- Initiatives you hope to develop (while looking for advice or collaborators)
- Success stories (with some sort of impact)
- Topics that require reconceptualisation or refinement or critical views
- Pitfalls you (or someone you know) experienced
- Any other related (or seemingly not related) matters
Some of your inputs will be turned to a scenario or a case that will be used for discussions and debates in the conference. You will then be invited as a facilitator or an appropriate role (of course with your consent). Please contact Dr. Tracy Zou (tracyzou@hku.hk) if you are interested.
Internationalisation researchers, practitioners, and professionals from across institutions in Hong Kong and around the world are welcome to join us. While all of us are eager to continue the conference as scheduled, we realise that under the cloud of the new coronavirus, we will need more expert medical knowledge in deciding whether early May is a perfect time for such a face-to-face meeting. The new dates of the conference will be announced in due course. Let us brave the shade. The sunlight will be on its way back.
