The Global Pathways Summit seeks to strengthen the academic bonds that exist between Colombia and the United States. The 2017 summit will be based on how education drives change and can serve as tool for innovation. The transformation of city of Medellin, Colombia will be used as a case study. The summit will bring together 30 universities from Colombia and a number of Universities and Schools from the United States to discuss and analyze how Higher Education Institutions (HEI) can be instrumental in driving change and innovation in their communities.
The Organizing Committee is looking for proposals that show an interest in sharing best practices in the Internationalization and Innovation of Higher Education. Three lines of knowledge will be given priority: Mobility, Teaching and Learning, and Research. The Committee invites proposals that:
- Share innovative models for academic cooperation (HEI, non profits, public sector)
- Increase student and community engagement in the Internationalization of Higher Education.
- Increase capacity building in Internationalization
- Best Practices in Technology Transfer. (How innovation is transfered from the classroom to the industry)
