Adapted from Cortese, A.D. (2003). The Critical Role of Higher Education in Creating a Sustainable Future. Planning for Higher Education 31(3): 15-22.

UG & PG – academic programmes, student development, “global” ready graduates

High impact research, strategic collaborations, country RSE development, “global” reputation

Endowment, prudent resource management, eco-friendly development

**RSE = researchers, scientists, engineers

Relevance – community engagement, USR, technology transfer

**USR = university social responsibility

Contribution to economic development: Malaysia’s high-income developed nation status by 2020; Malaysia as regional education hub

DNA of the university: sustainability, global, New Academia, organisational culture, values

Modeling global reputation in institutional strategic planning

Stages of development, institutional international cooperation

Faculty level, Student/staff mobility

“Testing the water”

Develop tangible (e.g. manpower) and intangible (e.g. trust, commitment) through small-scale collaboration

Faculty level, Student/staff mobility + R&D

Institutions within particular cooperation establishing greater engagement through conventional student/staff exchanges as well as R&D activities within institution

Chief Executive Officer, ISEP Penelope Pynes, Associate Provost, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Thomas Buntru, Dean of International Programs, Universidad de Monterrey

Institutional-wide partnership

Covering a wide range of activities including• Student mobility• Staff mobility• Academic partnerships (double

degree / international credit transfer)

• R&D• Other forms of collaboration

Conventional pathway

Copyright UTM 2013

Other pathways for international collaboration?

Consortia of universities focusing on T&L and/or R&D

G2G collaboration

G2G Investment – manpower, students, staff, financial resources, facilities, etc

Pathway 1

Global research network of universities on niche focus areas

Support, strengthen and facilitate individual institutions in research; build “primary partnerships” in regions with high cooperation

E.g: World Cities World Class Universities Network, University Global Partnership Network, Innovative Research Universities Australia

Pathway 2

Strategic international collaboration with reputable universities

• NEW ACADEMIA - Build partner institutions’ capacity in research and educational programs

• To expand reach globally through reputable partner institution’s network of collaboration and expertise

• JOB CREATION projects for UG and PG students

Pathway 3

The UTM pathway
