A workshop from the 2015 Sydney conference, hosted by Alessia LefÉbure, Director of the Alliance Programme, Columbia University and Andrew Coats, Inaugural Joint Academic Vice-President of Monash University and The University of Warwick Director of the Monash-Warwick Alliance.
The theme of presentations was ‘Changing places: The benefits and caveats of global partnerships’.

Alessia discussed the multilevel partnership within the Alliance of universities that Columbia University works with, whilst Andrew Coats used the experience of the Warwick-Monash partnership to explore the benefits and caveats of global partnerships, specifically entering into a joint Master’s.
