Advance HE showcases award-winning projects from higher education providers worldwide

A multi-national mental health and suicide prevention programme, a project highlighting the use of podcasts as learning tools and an initiative to embed sustainability in engineering education are among 15 initiatives chosen by Advance HE to feature in a new publication available to our members.

Projects by eight institutions from Australasia, four from Asia and two from Europe each won a Global Impact Grant from Advance HE earlier in the year.

Now a detailed outline of each project is featured in an 80-page report that is available to all Advance HE members.

Inspiring case studies

“We are delighted to share with our members fifteen inspiring case studies of recent work from around the world which have made a real difference to staff and students,” said Advance HE’s Head of Membership (International), Ian Hall.

“These case studies were awarded through Advance HE’s Global Impact Grant initiative and were selected by independent reviewers from more than 120 applications from 12 different countries. It’s a pleasure to be able to share such inspiring work.”
