- 2. 2 British Council Higher Education Series Introduction The Role of Higher Education in Economic Revitalization Welcome to the ninth event in the British Council Higher Education Series. This forum is part of a two-year series of small-scale conversational conferences occurring across The Americas. Each one is focused on a relevant shared agenda in higher education and addresses a specific theme of partnership between American and UK higher education institutions. The purpose is to create opportunities to share best practice, to discuss common concerns and to increase partnerships between institutions. Todays event focuses on the role of university partnerships with government and private industry in supporting economic revitalization in regions where there is need for growth as well as the significance these partnerships have on changing the way higher education is delivered today. Ensuring the right pipeline of graduates with the correct balance of technical and soft skills needed to meet workforce demands is a crucial issue in both the US and the UK. We will examine why universities are key in propelling regions trapped in low-skill/low-wage cycles into the knowledge economy through research, workforce development, and innovation and tech transfer. We hope you will find this to be a timely conversation, and we look forward to adding to this important debate.

The Role of Higher Education in Economic Revitalization 5 British Council USA Higher Education Overview 2012/13 Global Policy Dialogues Going Global 2014 in Miami, FL: April 29 - May 1, 2014 Going Global is the British Councils flagship international education conference. Since its inception in 2004, Going Global has grown from an annual event in the UK to the largest gathering of its type in the world, the leading global event for leaders of international education and a fixture of the global education calendar. Each year it attracts around 1,500 registered delegates from 70-80 countries across the tertiary (further and higher) education and vocational skills sectors and a variety of other industries with perspectives on international education. Each year, we bring Going Global to a different region of the world as we seek to explore future thinking in international tertiary education. The conference has been hosted in Edinburgh, London, Hong Kong, and Dubai in previous years, and will come to the Americas region for the first time in 2014. Vibrant and fast moving, the Americas region embraces the unparalleled strength of the USA on the global education stage, alongside new, rapidly rising players like Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Chile. It is this exciting melting pot of education traditions, cultures, ideas and aspirations that sets the context for our conference. KNOWLEDGE PARTNERSHIPS Global Innovation Initiative The Global Innovation Initiative is a new higher education partnership opportunity established between the UK and US governments. The initiative provides grant support for multilateral research collaboration in STEM-related issues of global significance between higher education institutions in the UK, the US and institutions in Brazil, China, India and Indonesia. The grants are intended to bring mutual benefit to higher education institutions on both sides of the Atlantic through the enhancement of existing bilateral ties and the development of trilateral relationships with emerging economies. The Call for Proposals goes live in October 2013. EDUCATION INTELLIGENCE Education Intelligence aims to provide accurate analysis of underlying market trends pertinent to the internationalization of education. The suite of reports focuses on student decision-making processes, international student mobility, individual country profiles and the internationalization policies of specific countries. http://ihe.britishcouncil.org/educationintelligence
