We are pleased to unveil another session at the Global Mobility Conference, the joint UUKi- and member-led Gone International: A New Generation – widening global mobility participation session. This session will highlight key findings from Gone International: A New Generation, the latest report in the highly influential Gone International series, focusing on the headline insights linked to participation rates and outcomes, including those of less-advantaged students.
To bring these findings to life, global mobility leads from some of our member institutions will share reflections on institutional strategies aimed at widening access and enhancing academic and employability outcomes. Join us at this session which promises to provide valuable perspectives for institutions to reflect on their own approaches to widening access and tracking outcomes.
This year’s conference will feature an inspiring lineup of breakout sessions led by experts from UUKi member institutions. These sessions will delve into innovative mobility programs, strategies to widen participation, and the measurable impact of international placements on student outcomes.
From exploring global experiential learning opportunities at the University of Leeds to evaluating the transformative power of short-term mobility at the University of Birmingham , each session offers actionable insights and real-world case studies designed to inspire and inform your institution's mobility strategies.
