International week for staff
'Global Glasgow'
More so now than ever before, the University of Glasgow is committed to international endeavour and global collaboration. Over the last year, we have had to adapt quickly to innovative ways of supporting our partnerships at home and overseas, and staff have continued to work with colleagues from across the world to pursue shared international objectives and create opportunities for our TeamUofG community.
To provide a timely update on existing international activity, as well as bold new initiatives and exciting opportunities, we hosted an International Week for Staff, ‘Global Glasgow’, the week commencing Monday, 10 May 2021.
Thanks to those that attended the event. If you are a member of staff interested in accessing the slides or videos please email international-events@glasgow.ac.uk
