Facilitated webinar on industry engagement in UK-Malaysia higher education partnerships

Building on work previously delivered for the British Council Malaysia, Research Consulting were commissioned to support the design and facilitation of a webinar in March 2021.
The event considered how the development of industry engagement practices in higher education is reflected in partnership opportunities between UK and Malaysia. It was set against a strong background of UK-Malaysia Higher Education collaboration, and a focus in both countries on the role of university-industry engagement in driving excellence, impact and economic outcomes from research and education activities.

The event was hosted by Prabha Sundram, Head of Education at the British Council Malaysia and facilitated by Dan King, Director at Research Consulting.

This webinar was designed to provide a broad-brush perspective from UK and Malaysia including:
• sharing an overview of the UK and Malaysian landscape for U-I engagement
• exploring challenges and opportunities in the Covid-19 era; and
• discussing frameworks and models of best practices to support partnerships.
