Brandt School's Global Reach Expands with the New Academic Partnership with El Colegio de México

Fostering International Exchange and Collaboration

At the Brandt School, we have built a solid reputation for our commitment to internationalization and global engagement. Our institution has long been dedicated to exploring and creating strong international partnerships that have a profound scientific impact, addressing critical global issues such as energy crisis, digitalization or socio-economic development. We actively foster collaborations with institutions worldwide, as these partnerships provide invaluable opportunities for both our students and faculty to engage in teaching, learning, research, and various academic activities across the globe.

Strengthening Academic Ties

This latest partnership with El Colegio de México marks a significant milestone in our pursuit of academic excellence and global cooperation. The primary goal of this collaboration is to establish and strengthen academic ties between the Brandt School and El Colegio. We envision a future where students and faculty from both institutions will have the opportunity to engage in enriching exchanges and collaborate on joint research projects. The first steps towards this partnership have already been put into motion. In the Winter Semester of 2022, Dr. Hasnain Bokhari, the Brandt School's lead for internationalization and digitalization, initiated a joint assignment on Collaborative Online and International Learning (COIL) with the Department of Gender Studies. Looking ahead, in September 2023, Dr. Bokhari will further strengthen this partnership by visiting El Colegio de México and offering a workshop to its students on the topic of AI and Public Policy.
