Adapted from Cortese, A.D. (2003). The Critical Role of Higher Education in Creating a Sustainable Future. Planning for Higher Education 31(3): 15-22.
UG & PG – academic programmes, student development, “global” ready graduates
High impact research, strategic collaborations, country RSE development, “global” reputation
Endowment, prudent resource management, eco-friendly development
**RSE = researchers, scientists, engineers
Relevance – community engagement, USR, technology transfer
**USR = university social responsibility
Contribution to economic development: Malaysia’s high-income developed nation status by 2020; Malaysia as regional education hub
DNA of the university: sustainability, global, New Academia, organisational culture, values
Modeling global reputation in institutional strategic planning

Stages of development, institutional international cooperation
Faculty level, Student/staff mobility
“Testing the water”
Develop tangible (e.g. manpower) and intangible (e.g. trust, commitment) through small-scale collaboration
Faculty level, Student/staff mobility + R&D
Institutions within particular cooperation establishing greater engagement through conventional student/staff exchanges as well as R&D activities within institution

Chief Executive Officer, ISEP Penelope Pynes, Associate Provost, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Thomas Buntru, Dean of International Programs, Universidad de Monterrey
Institutional-wide partnership
Covering a wide range of activities including• Student mobility• Staff mobility• Academic partnerships (double
degree / international credit transfer)
• R&D• Other forms of collaboration
Conventional pathway
www.utm.my innovative ● entrepreneurial ● global 19
Copyright UTM 2013
Other pathways for international collaboration?
Consortia of universities focusing on T&L and/or R&D
G2G collaboration
G2G Investment – manpower, students, staff, financial resources, facilities, etc
Pathway 1
Global research network of universities on niche focus areas
Support, strengthen and facilitate individual institutions in research; build “primary partnerships” in regions with high cooperation
E.g: World Cities World Class Universities Network, University Global Partnership Network, Innovative Research Universities Australia
Pathway 2
Strategic international collaboration with reputable universities
• NEW ACADEMIA - Build partner institutions’ capacity in research and educational programs
• To expand reach globally through reputable partner institution’s network of collaboration and expertise
• JOB CREATION projects for UG and PG students
