International Leadership Conference: Managing Global Universities

Monday 21 November–Thursday 24 November 2011. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The first International Leadership Conference took place from 8-12 November 2010 at The University of Nottingham Ningbo, China. Delegates attended from the UK, Denmark, China, Colombia and Australia to discuss and share best practice on important topics around the internationalisation of higher education.
"Attending the first 'International Leadership Conference: Managing Global Universities' last autumn in Ningbo, China was of considerable value in developing the internationalisation strategy for the University of Reading. The week was a valuable mix of high-level strategic discussion and knowledge-sharing to gain practical insights from university leaders with experience of building and running campuses overseas.
I would recommend the opportunity to attend to anyone involved in planning and developing their institution's worldwide reach." Professor Steven Mithen, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for International and External Engagement at the University of Reading
"...it was a pleasure to join such a stimulating event." Phil Baty, Deputy Editor, Times Higher Education.
Building on the success of this event, we will be hosting the 2011 event at The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, 30km from Kuala Lumpur.
This intensive four day programme is designed for senior managers and leaders from higher education institutions from across the world. It will take place at The University of Nottingham’s campus in Malaysia, an extremely successful research-led UK university with an excellent reputation for global leadership and management.
