Following discussions at BU’s External Engagement International (EEI) group, the Global Engagement Hub will be establishing a series of cross-University Global Regional Groups.

The aim of the groups is to oversee and coordinate international strategic approaches and operations for a particular global region across Fusion (research, education, professional practice) and international partnerships, international mobility and experience, and international student recruitment and business development. The groups will share information and opportunities linked to particular world regions, as well as harness expertise from across BU on particular world regions.

The following regional groups, which may evolve over time, will initially be established:

Africa/Middle East

Americas

East/Southeast Asia/Oceania

Europe

South Asia

The groups will meet three times a year, and there will be representation from the Global Engagement Hub (GEH), International Marketing & Student Recruitment Team (IMRST), as well as academic and professional service colleagues who are working in or on the relevant region, and/or who have an interest and expertise in a particular region.

Colleagues interested in becoming members of these groups are invited to express their interest by completing a short survey by Friday 29 April 2022.

A panel will review the expressions of interest, and we will then contact colleagues of the final outcome.
