UCalgary International
Partnerships
300+ active agreements with
partner universities in 80
destinations

Increase of Internationalization=
increase of inquiries internally/externally
Problem:• UCI was spending most of their
time responding to inquiries and “chasing” these requests
• A lot of institutional data surrounding partnership activity
but not a systematic approach to utilizing and sharing it
• Needed to come up withprocesses and tools to ensure our
partnerships were strategic and multidimensional

Implementing Processes
Step 1: Consultation with faculties and stakeholders
Step 2: Creation of processes through consultation and collaboration with IE Admin Team
Step 3: Templates, tools and training sessions were offered to all staff and any faculty members interested
