Institutional Strengths/Potential Beneficiariesin International Science Engagement
Scientific -faculty-facilities-programs-research networks
Educational -programs, history-students/alums-centers/Title VI
Societal -ethics/faith priorities-demography-local challenges
Economic -nearby industry-specific expertise-natural resources-facilities
Health-related -hospitals-community needs-public health
Geography -proximity-diaspora groups-cross-border issues
What benefits of international science collaboration are you already seeing?
-leveraged funding-access to foreign expertise, data, facilities-globally engaged U.S. students-improved research networks-scientific excellence-increased trust, cultural understanding-access to foreign tech markets -better solutions for local issues-value added on global challenges-stronger international reputation
Opportunity Mapping for International Science Engagement
What benefits of international science collaboration do you want to maximize? How can your institution/system/area add the most value in a global context?
Where are strongest opportunities for your institution across the globe? Why is your institution a great partner for a foreign institution?
How can you articulate your priorities so that your faculty, who often conduct curiosity-driven research, can participate in your intentional (strategic) engagement?
Opportunity Mapping for International Science Engagement
METRICS OF MOST INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITIES• Teaching (the learning environment)
• Research (volume, income and reputation)
• Citations (research influence)
• International outlook (staff, students and research)
• Industry income (knowledge transfer)

Global Impact Initiative
Academy for Global EngagementFaculty Development in International Research• Build a growing cohort of faculty to lead global
research relationships
• Capitalize on opportunities to leverage external resources and partnerships.
• Be a force in developing global research project priorities and influence high-level strategies to address them.
Faculty-Driven Internationalization
• Bottom-up not top-down
• Matching discipline and department norms and values
• Leveraging existing activities toward internationalization agenda
• Creating interdisciplinary teams
• Assessment program for project goals + internationalization
