AIEC 2016

Some people pick mushrooms in autumn, but this season higher education specialists pick us: not long after our 6 sessions at the European Association for International Education (EAIE) Conference in Liverpool, and just days after the guest appearance at the Irish Universities Association HR Conference in Limerick, we’re off to Melbourne! On 18-21 October, our team is going to present at the 30th Australian International Education Conference (AIEC), and it is sure going to be busy.

Poster sessions

Intercultural competencies are in high demand by employers. Although only a relatively small number of students can travel abroad to broaden their horizons, most of them use modern technologies daily. This poster will show how online gamification of cultural scenarios can train and develop intercultural competencies wherever the students are located.

Poster: E-mployability: training intercultural competencies with the help of gamification
Presenters: Nannette Ripmeester, Expertise in Labour Mobility.
Date and time: 20 October, 08:45 – 10:00

Alumni are the brand ambassadors of their alma mater. However, once students graduate, keeping in touch with them is tricky, especially with the growing numbers of alumni abroad – university newsletters and calls for donations don’t quite cut it. This poster session will show that connecting with alumni has to be a two-way process where information is exchanged rather than merely collected.

Poster: You’ve got mail: continuous career support at the heart of alumni communication
Presenter: Nannette Ripmeester, Expertise in Labour Mobility.
Date and time: 21 October, 11:00 – 12:15
