Community

The IC Global Community is a supportive and inclusive network of over 1,700 professionals dedicated to international education. Community members are from more than 75 countries and comprise different levels of seniority. These include PVC’s, Deans, Directors, Heads, Managers and Officers across both professional services and the academic community. Additionally, Community members work for commercial companies, public bodies, charitable status organisations and independent consultancies in all levels of the organisation.

We provide opportunities for IC Global Community members to enhance their professional development, support each other, network, collaborate, exchange information, share experiences, foster partnerships and improve practices. We do this through training, consultancy, coaching, mentoring, events, tailored and bespoke services.

We created The IC Global Community as we believe internationalisation and global engagement is about connections and community.

We hope you will join us. Together, we can enhance and strengthen our collective expertise in internationalisation and global engagement for the benefit of all.

I will try to participate in every Café session as much as possible. I have found the sessions’ informal nature very uplifting and I also felt connected by getting updates and hearing thoughts of the peers and sector experts from my remote office at my home.
