The panellists threw light on the landscape of transnational partnerships for higher education and skills has been undergoing significant changes in recent years. There are several trends that are shaping the way these partnerships are being formed and implemented. Increasing globalization: The world is becoming more interconnected, and universities are looking to expand their reach beyond their national borders. This has led to an increase in transnational partnerships, as universities seek to establish collaboration with institutions in other countries.
Focus on internationalization: Many universities are now placing a greater emphasis on internationalization as a key strategic goal. This includes attracting international students, engaging in joint research projects, and establishing partnerships with universities in other countries. Growing demand for skills: The demand for highly skilled workers is increasing globally, and universities are responding to this by expanding their offerings in areas such as engineering, business, and technology. Transnational partnerships are being formed to help universities provide students with the skills they need to succeed in today’s global economy. Digital transformation: The digital revolution has had a significant impact on higher education and has led to the emergence of new forms of transnational partnerships. For example, universities are now able to collaborate on online courses and degree programs, allowing students to access high-quality education from anywhere in the world. Shift towards public-private partnerships: There is a growing trend towards public-private partnerships in higher education, with universities collaborating with companies and other organizations to develop programs and initiatives that meet the needs of the labor market. Overall, the changing landscape of transnational partnerships in higher education and skills is reflective of the growing importance of globalization, internationalization, skills development, digital transformation, and public-private partnerships in the 21st century.
