The "Excellence in Globalization" award category recognizes institutions that have excelled in expanding their reach and impact on a global scale. These institutions have effectively embraced internationalization strategies, fostering cross-cultural understanding, collaboration, and exchange. They have also successfully established strong global linkages and strategic frameworks for student mobility, collaborative research, conferences, curriculum enhancement, immersive programs, joint teaching, and exchange initiatives that have significantly internationalized both teaching and learning experiences in their institutions.
Submission Guidelines
Showcase your institution's initiative, project, or service as part of a case study for the awards. The case study should clearly demonstrate the objective of the initiative, as well as the measurable impact it has had. It is important to support this impact with evidence and reports.
To help guide you in creating your case study, we have provided a few illustrations of enabling environments, initiatives, projects, services, technologies, and collaborations that have had a positive impact. However, please note that these examples are not exhaustive, and we encourage institutions to submit any initiative, project, or service they feel is deserving of recognition.
In addition to highlighting the impact of your initiative, it is important to discuss future plans and potential outcomes. This will demonstrate your institution's commitment to continued progress and innovation.
Overall, we want your case study to effectively communicate the value and success of your institution's work. By providing a well-presented and comprehensive description of your initiative and its impact, you will increase the chances of your institution being recognized and awarded for its work in the particular area.
