The UOW Global Collaborate conference provides a unique space for academic & professional staff, students an alumni from across our global network of campuses to gather and learn from each other. It will help you build an understanding of the activities occurring at our different locations and challenge you to think of ways we can work together to enhance our global impact.
This year the conference has a fantastic lineup of speakers across research, teaching & learning and the student experience.
We think that the conference is a great place to expand your network and make meaningful connections with your fellow UOW colleagues. Get a new perspective on how your research, teaching or student program can engage a global UOW audience, hear examples of best practices and become inspired by the work currently occurring at UOW.
Additionally, all sessions will be available on demand after the conference, so if you miss a session or want to watch it again, everything will be right here on this site after the event concludes!
The central theme of the 2022 conference is Collaborative Approaches for Sustainable Futures, aiming to celebrate and raise awareness of collaborations occurring between the UOW entities and provide a space for reflection of future opportunities for collaborative projects.
The conference will contribute towards goal 1.3.1 of the UOW Strategic Plan for 2020 –2025 of enhancing UOW’s international presence and creating opportunities for student mobility and collaboration across the UOW network & with high-quality global partners. Within the theme of Collaborative Approaches for Sustainable Futures, three strands will form the focus for each day.
