International Leadership Development Programme

International Leadership Development Programme 2013

ILDP: Chicago: Sunday 12 - Thursday 16 May 2013*
ILDP: Hong Kong: Sunday 10 November - Thursday 14 November 2013*


The International Leadership Development Programme (ILDP) was created in 2010 as an opportunity for higher education leaders and managers to explore the challenges associated with globalisation and internationalisation in higher education in different cities and regions of the world.

Each programme has a specific focus and offers participants the chance to investigate, discuss and exchange experiences with their peers in the UK and overseas. Each four-day programme provides structured opportunities to visit a range of institutions and meet influential policy leaders. The Leadership Foundation’s 2013 programmes will take place in Hong Kong SAR in March and Chicago in May 2013.

The benefits of attending for institutions are:

• An opportunity to review and develop international strategies that integrate education, research and knowledge transfer opportunities
• A chance to build new partnerships or extend existing relationships with HEIs in different cities and regions of the world
• Gaining new intelligence about how HEIs in two fast moving regions are responding to the rapidly changing face of international higher education
• An opportunity to network with alumni or other partners and stakeholders in each region.

Benefits for individuals:

• The chance to gain new and different perspectives on higher education developments of relevance to the UK in important global regions
• The opportunity to acquire new insights and deeper cultural awareness of the challenges of internationalisation and the opportunities for mutual benefits across different HEIs and HE systems
• Exposure to different leadership styles and management approaches
• The opportunity to develop new national and international networks
