LUMS
In 2021 LUMS proudly announced its partnership with Building Internationalisation (B-International). It is a project co-funded by the European Union (EU) under the Erasmus+ program.
It is aimed at providing staff at Pakistan universities with a framework through which to implement international strategies. Especially, that support the wide aims of the universities.
Also, it will provide the staff with knowledge as well as practical tools to implement international activities. Which supports the strategic aim of the wider Higher Education sector and the university.
As a result, the project is meant to observe traditional components of internationalization like mobility, TNE, and international research.
However, it will also incorporate more contemporary concepts. For example, the development of international campuses that explore the wide tapestry of international cultures.
Moreover, the institutional partners of the project within the EU include various institutions. Thus, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Ecole Centrale de Nantes, the University of Bologna, and the University of Salamanca.
Whilst partners in Pakistan include LUMS, National University of Science and Technology, Comsats Institute of Information Technology, and Pakistan Institute of Fashion and Design.
