Developing Capacity for Leading International Projects: Final Report

The importance, academically and financially, of the international market place to UK Higher Education Institutionsis evidenced by the number of UK HEIs which have, or intend having, international projects ranging from full blown campuses, partnerships with other HEIs in international settings, joint delivery of programmes, franchise arrangements and many research collaborations. National culture, interpersonal and contextual variables influence how these projects are led and managed. This project seeks to identify the variables, and to draw on experience within and outside of HE to identify best practice in the development of international leadership capacity.
