ThinkTNE Forum 2024

ThinkTNE Forum 2024 is the British Council East Asia’s flagship event focusing on quality and excellence in transnational education. Leading education experts in the UK and East Asia will be engaged to discuss top priorities and challenges in the development and delivery of TNE.

This year’s theme Progressive Partnerships in Transnational Education follows on from the discussion at Going Global Conference 2022 and aims to continue to explore how we can encourage a move from purely ‘teaching franchises’ to institutional collaborations that progresses with ambitions and visions for students, academics and TNE management in-country.

This one-day forum will be held in-person at Sunway Resort Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Poster Showcase: The Power of Action in TNE
Showcase your Innovative Collaborations and Innovations

All ThinkTNE participants are invited to share your success stories via poster showcase which would be displayed at the ThinkTNE Forum 2024. The Posters offer a unique opportunity for UK-EA TNE providers to present your journey in developing successful TNE partnerships, and the innovations which you have applied to grow and sustain the partnerships.

The Poster Showcase should address one of the following three distinct themes:

  • Journey to establishing successful Transnational Education.
  • Best practices in TNE operations and management (for example student/academic engagement, industry involvement, professional support staff development, etcetera).
  • Innovation beyond teaching collaborations in Transnational Education.

If you are interested to present your TNE case study, please submit your abstract to be considered for the Poster Presentation at ThinkTNE Forum 2024 by 19 January 2024.
