The British Council in Kuwait is inviting expressions of interest from UK universities to partner with us to deliver a face-to-face policy dialogue seminar on the topic of Academic Leadership.
This event is scheduled for late October 2023, in Kuwait, and will involve a two-day visit.
The first day will consist of the policy dialogue seminar, including preparation, seminar delivery and networking. The second day will provide an opportunity for further meetings and discussions with individual universities in Kuwait.
The event aims to provide a platform for thought leaders, policymakers, and academic professionals from Kuwait's higher education sector to engage in meaningful discussions and share insights on leadership in academia.
The expected output will be a summary report of the discussions and recommendations for follow-up, with a maximum length of 1,500 words.
By partnering with us, your institution will have the chance to showcase its expertise and foster international collaborations. We are particularly interested in universities with a strong track record in academic leadership, teaching excellence, and a commitment to global engagement.
The British Council Kuwait will cover the cost of two economy flights for the speakers from the university, as well as up to three nights of hotel accommodation.
How to apply
Institutions submitting an expression of interest should include a brief summary of the relevant background information and a high-level outline of what they would cover in the policy dialogue event.
Expressions of interest should be sent to Eman Mahmoud at Iman.Mahmoud@britishcouncil.org
The application deadline is 31 August 2023.
