UK ENIC presents at WHEF TNE policy conference
UK ENIC presented at the Westminster Higher Education Forum earlier this month, as part of the ‘Next steps for UK transnational education’ policy conference.
Chris Lyons, Head of Policy and Engagement, was invited to the online event on 18 March to join a panel discussion about the importance of recognition in the context of successful TNE activity.
The session also reflected on the challenges posed to recognition work, as TNE comes in many different forms, and touches upon the context of the sender, host and third-party countries and authorities.
Chris joined other sector experts including Thomas Pollitt, Partner – VWV; Bobby Mehta, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Global Engagement – University of Portsmouth; and Riffat Shaheen, Vice President, Postgraduate and International – University of Nottingham Students’ Union.
Chris said: ‘With the recent refresh to the UK International Education Strategy, recognition has been identified as particularly important to UK export and success.
‘As the IES focuses heavily on TNE, this increases its relevance further, so this was a very timely event with lots of insightful discussion.’
