Student Affairs Partnering with Academic Affairs (SAPAA)的动态

???????????????????? ???????????????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????????????????? ???????? ?????????? ?????????? ?????????????? ???? ?????? ????????????????, ???? ?????????? Shinawatra University(SIU), led by President Assoc. Prof. Zhuo Fei, and Saint Louis College of San Fernando, La Union (SLC-SFLU) in the Philippines, led by College President Rev. Fr. Roderick G. Villamar, CICM PhD, have formed a groundbreaking partnership to enhance international academic cooperation. The agreement, formalized last December 11, 2024, will implement Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) across various departments at both institutions. This initiative, spearheaded by Dr. Leo Esteene L. Galap of SLC-SFLU under "The GLoBE Project," was facilitated by Ms. Julie Jay Macariola, Manager of International Affairs at SIU. Key SIU representatives attended the signing ceremony, including Dr. Pratikshya Bandhari, Director of International Affairs; Dr. Sujin Buditsuwan, Dean, Faculty of Psychology; and Dr. Sipnarong Kanchanawongpaisan, Deputy Director of The Institute of Multidisciplinary Postdoctoral Research and Franchise Program. This partnership will connect students and faculty across borders, fostering dynamic learning experiences and enriching their understanding of global perspectives. Key benefits include: > Enhanced learning with diverse perspectives > Increased research opportunities > Expanded global networks This collaboration marks a significant step towards fostering a vibrant learning, innovation, and cross-cultural exchange environment.

According to Scholar Media Africa, most PhDs graduating are in their 50s and 60s with a significant drop-out rate due to problems of supervision with professors and doctors giving feedback to students at their own discretion. It all comes down to one arguement; your Supervisor (PI) has a huge influence on how fast you advance. Hopefully, we'll get to change this narrative once we get there. Very soon. It doesn't have to be that hard! I am one of the individuals who believe that we have (potentially) some of the best intitutions globally. We should also be in a position to attract foreign researchers back home. We can be equally competitive. Article by: Prof. Maurice Amutabi Link: https://lnkd.in/dXs4r3zw

??? ?? From April 23-25, 2025, Brussels will co-organise the Debating Skills European Debate Event, a pivotal gathering of young voices from across Europe. This initiative, led by CEPCEP – Universidade Católica Portuguesa in partnership with ECNAIS and EFEE – European Federation of Education Employers, supported by Porticus, has one clear mission: to harness the power of debate as an educational tool to foster confidence, critical thinking, empathy, and creativity among upper-secondary students. ? After two years of impactful training and engagement across eight EU countries—Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain—this event will bring together nationally selected teams of students and educators for an inspiring and competitive exchange of ideas. ? ?? What to Expect: ? Debate Competition – Three rounds and a final, judged by KU Leuven postgraduates ? Collaborative Manifesto – A collective effort to promote debating in education ? EU Parliament Visit – Connecting students with European democratic institutions ? The outcomes will resonate beyond the event, influencing future debate initiatives and fostering a culture of dialogue and civic engagement in schools across Europe. ? Stay tuned for insights, highlights, and the voices of the next generation of European leaders!???

Such an important topic Sandra Lapointe. I wish I could be in Toronto to learn from others and share views. My modest oversimplified suggestion: As part of their academic path, provide the 80% (PhDs that know won't go into academia) with 20% of non-academic competencies that will be useful in their future roles. Non-academic competencies could be viewed as a mix of knowledge mobilisation, experiential learning, valorization/transfer, entrepreneurship and other impact-focused activities. Evaluate accordingly. Looking forward to learn about the result of the discussions! Coryell

?? Spotlight on our academic partner: Leiden University of Applied Sciences (The Netherlands) ???? We are happy to feature Leiden University of Applied Sciences Hogeschool Leiden, a key partner in the DiGiN project. With its vast academic expertise and research capabilities, Leiden plays its role in evaluating the effectiveness of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) interventions across our participating municipalities. Their interdisciplinary approach ensures that the project's DEI strategies are evidence-based, scalable and adaptable setting a high standard for municipal operations throughout Europe. ?? Follow us to learn how Leiden University of Applied Sciences is transforming municipal DEI practices with impactful research and actionable insights! #DEI #EuropeanUnion #EuropeanMunicipalities

Sustainability is not just a buzzword; it is the focus even at the higher education level. Hence, this collaboration with my colleagues on fostering a sustainable approach to doctoral studies. It was our first poster presentation, and it was a learning curve for us too. Looking forward to more opportunities for collaborations for sustainability. #sustainability #lifelonglearning #sdgs

On average, fewer than 20% of PhD holders work in academia: they become part of innovation ecosystems in the social, public and industrial sectors. As such, they should be equipped to leverage their skills to drive Canadian prosperity. ? Graduate education strategy is an important dimension of innovation policy. In a context where social and human research are increasingly seen to be as important as the development of enabling technologies to address societal and global challenges, we need to rethink the competencies we associate with highly qualified talent. ? Join the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences and The/La Collaborative at the next annual meeting of the Canadian Association for Graduate Studies (CAGS) for a consultative and deliberative workshop to shape the vision for Canada’s Graduate Education Strategy. Join us to: ↗ Take ownership of proposed recommendations and set priorities ↗ Reflect on the mechanisms necessary to promote concerted action ↗ Identify key stakeholders to rally around an emerging consensus ↗ Identify audiences for a statement and next steps A consensus statement emerging from this consultation will inform the next steps of a national campaign in partnership with Evidence for Democracy. This special event will take place Wednesday October 30, 1:30-5pm in Toronto (downtown) and is free.

Reposting this excellent summary of the “3 don’ts” for achieving policy impact with research. These points highlight the importance of aligning your expertise with real-world needs while maintaining academic rigor. I see parallels between these lessons and the broader discourse on impact-oriented research and knowledge valorisation. I’d also suggest adding a fourth piece of advice: 4?? Don’t work in isolation: engage in co-creation from the start. Collaborating with stakeholders—whether policymakers, communities, or industry—during the research design phase enhances the relevance and application of your work. The recent AWTI report, Natural Connections: Embed Social Sciences and Humanities Research in Innovation, reinforces this point, highlighting how social sciences and humanities (SSH) are critical in addressing complex challenges. By integrating SSH perspectives, we ensure that innovations—be they technological, policy, or societal—are ethical, inclusive, and sustainable. While fundamental research remains vital for advancing knowledge and addressing long-term challenges, we are also seeing an increasing emphasis on: ? Societal relevance: Connecting research to pressing real-world questions. ? Knowledge valorisation: Creating pathways for insights to generate tangible benefits. ? Interdisciplinary collaboration: Building trust and communication pathways to integrate research into decision-making processes effectively.
