The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) and the British Council have partnered to produce crucial new research investigating the role of international higher education partnerships in addressing the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and how institutions can build equitable, impactful partnerships.
Join us on Wednesday 12 January to hear the headlines from this study followed by an exploratory discussion with an expert panel including the report authors, programme funders and global higher education leaders.
