UK institutions are invited to participate in the upcoming higher education dialogue on collaboration with industry hosted by British Council Nigeria.

Our higher education dialogues are facilitated conversations between governments, universities and industry, with contributions and fresh perspectives from our network of leading thinkers. By sharing international best practice and creating opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between policy makers, higher education institutions, businesses and industry, we influence whole-system reform to help improve learning.

The dialogue will be delivered in a mixed approach of workshops and training. It will provide Nigerian university leaders with key insights on building and leveraging effective collaboration with industry to boost graduate outcomes. This workshop will provide the delegates with the opportunity to develop improvement plans with targets and institutions with sustainable plans will receive seed grants to help them kick start the process.

The objective of this dialogue is to catalyse discourse between key stakeholders at policy and practice level to support institutional level reform and best practice in the area of collaboration with industry. We will work with UK and Nigeria partners to provide practical guidance on the different approaches that institutions can take to embed industry collaboration in academic programme delivery.
