Kent was proud to host the annual meetings of the SGroup European Universities Network (SGroup) 6th to 8th November 2019.<\/p>\n
This event saw representatives from the SGroup’s 32 member institutions from 17 European countries attend as well as one of the network’s associate partners from Colombia.<\/p>\n
The Network, which was established in 1989, is based on four core areas of co-operation \u2013 internationalisation strategy, academic collaboration, academic mobility, and the transfer of knowledge.<\/p>\n
Kent joined the SGroup in April 2011 and has used its membership of the network to strengthen both its European and international partnerships, giving rise to a range of mobility opportunities for students and staff.<\/p>\n
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Karen Cox gave the formal welcome to network representatives and stressed the University\u2019s commitment to continued European and international collaboration in the context of its civic mission.<\/p>\n
The meeting of the SGroup concluded with a workshop on collaboration in the context of Brexit and included the perspectives of Prof. Philippe de Wilde as Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation and Prof. Jeremy Carrette, Dean for Europe.<\/p>\n
