The International Experience Fund (IEF) aims to achieve several key objectives focused on global engagement and staff development.
What are the Objectives of the IEF?
The core objectives of the International Experience Fund (IEF) are strategically designed to enhance the university's global presence and foster staff growth. These objectives ensure that the fund contributes to broader institutional goals, supporting both individual career advancement and international collaboration.
The specific objectives of the IEF include:
- Supporting Staff Development: Providing valuable personal and career development opportunities for staff members. This includes enhancing skills, broadening perspectives, and fostering professional growth through international experiences.
- Advancing International Strategy: Progressing the university's broader international strategy, such as the "Global Glasgow 2025 International Strategy." The IEF plays a crucial role in operationalizing these strategic international goals.
- Promoting Sustainable Relationships: Cultivating and strengthening sustainable relationships with partner universities worldwide. This involves fostering long-term collaborations, exchange programs, and joint initiatives that benefit all parties involved.
These objectives collectively contribute to a more globally connected and professionally developed university community. For more information on internationalisation efforts, you can visit the University of Glasgow's Internationalisation page.
