This session highlights how the four higher education institutions in Liverpool work collaboratively with a variety of organisations to increase student enrolments and education-related business in the city of Liverpool, raising its profile as a global education destination.

Senior International Officer Perspectives: risks and benefits of decentralising internationalisation (Session 5.1)
As internationalisation efforts evolve so do organisational structures. At some institutions, international activities and strategies are decentralised. Operational authority then lies within faculties and departments rather than at the central level. What are the risks and benefits of decentralising international efforts? This interactive roundtable discussion led by Dr Edward Harcourt, Pro Vice-Chancellor (External Engagement), invites Senior International Officers to debate the tensions and advantages of leaving centralised international structures behind.

This session reports on a literature review on international students’ learning experiences using technology, conducted collaboratively by six institutions in the UK. This project involved jointly developing a framework for the research, coordinating reading and analysis, and collaboratively producing the findings.
