Starting partnerships with international universities open up new opportunities for your institution. And while institutions come together to form partnerships for myriad reasons, three of the most common ones are: improving research and development opportunities, increasing access to new markets and strengthening recruitment and retention efforts.

Send a message to connect
After finding the instructor or institution that you want to partner with, it’s finally time to start connecting. Don’t be shy to initiate a conversation! Click on their profile and introduce yourself. Tell them why you want to collaborate with them, and how the collaboration should go.
Say, you want to collaborate with this university because their goals are in line with your institution’s. Simply send them a message of intent and if they agree to start an international collaboration with you, congratulations! You have finally found an institutional partner.
Create a collaboration room
Invite your faculty members to the exchange. Who will be designing the program and hosting the lessons? Invite them to a collaboration room together with your collaboration partners from your partner institution. They can easily hold meetings in ImmerseU to plan and deliver their virtual exchange program. Our collaboration rooms already have the features built in that your instructors need to plan out the lessons and activities for their students.
