Webinar: The importance of international talent to university strategies and how best to recruit them
We are nothing without talent.
Talent is the single most important factor in the success of any great institution – you can have as much money as you want, the best facilities in the world, and the most highly esteemed history and reputation, but without smart, dynamic people, you have nothing.
Attracting and retaining international talent has been associated with multiple benefits for universities and the wider ecosystem in which they operate.
In this session we will draw upon data from THE’s World University Rankings to share insights into:
- Global mobility trends
- International talent vs. rankings performance
- Importance of international talent for research collaboration & reputation development
- What do academics look for when searching for new opportunities?
- Approaches to recruiting international talent – case studies from world-leading universities
