International Partnerships

For achieving significant impact and outstanding outcomes through international collaborations and networks.

C-DICE & STEER (International Networking Sprints)

This collaboration between the C-DICE team and the Modern Energy Cooking Services delivered two International Networking Sprints in Nepal and Rwanda for early career researchers from the UK and host countries. The two-day international sprints brought together postdoctoral researchers from a range of institutions to form diverse, interdisciplinary teams aimed at tackling critical challenges associated with achieving reducing global carbon emissions.

Scarlett Du

Scarlett is a force in driving international university partnership activity and has gone above and beyond in this first year of her role as part of the UK-based Global-Engagement team. Scarlett has personally driven forward relations with no fewer than 49 Chinese universities this year, including carrying out lengthy due diligence processes, scoping and delivering university partner visits to Lboro and facilitating visits to University partners in Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR.

GoSports Foundation India

The partnership between Loughborough Sport and GoSports Foundation India is an alliance that is redefining the landscape of para sport development. In late 2024, we welcomed the first High Performance Para Athletics Camp at Loughborough. Five exceptional Indian para-athletes trained at our High-Performance Athletics Centre under the expert guidance of our para-athletics coach, Joe McDonnell. This camp was not only a physical transformation for these athletes, but it was also a turning point in their careers.

South Asia Global Engagement Team

Loughborough University’s South Asia recruitment team have not stood still, and instead have adapted changing circumstances to place Loughborough in the best position. One prime example of this is reviewing how we interact with academic colleagues, resulting in the organisation of Loughborough’s first agent conference and a number of academic missions. This was instrumental in raising Loughborough’s profile amongst our key stakeholders in market and building relationships to develop sustained recruitment pathways.
