About this course
Led by trainers Anna Stina Sinisalo and Shane Lordan, the EAIE Academy course "Nurturing strategic international partnerships and alliances" will guide you toward a new way of thinking about strategic partnerships and alliances. This two-day course on 15–16 May comprises eight modules with social breaks for making connections including a networking drink at The Social Hub Amsterdam City, where the course will take place.
Not all strategic partnerships are created equal; nowadays, they come in many forms: bilateral or multilateral partnerships, strategic networks or alliances, or priority partnerships focusing on supporting a specific goal of the higher education institution. Establishing, managing and evaluating such partnerships requires a significant investment of time and resources – so it’s worth doing it right.
This comprehensive and interactive in-person course will guide you toward a new way of thinking about strategic partnerships and alliances. EAIE trainers Anna Stina Sinisalo and Shane Lordan will offer structured guidance on these valuable partnerships - from planning to implementation to evaluation. Join us in person for a two days course at The Social Hub in Amsterdam and develop a roadmap for successfully establishing or continuing strategic international partnerships at your institution.
