McGill is a leading global university located in Montreal, Canada. We strive to further internationalization building a strong global community of partners to support academics and research both in Canada and abroad.
We build strong partnerships with world-class institutions to create opportunities for students, faculty and researchers.
Connection.
Collaboration.
Change.
We create impact across the globe.
Research is by nature international. Researchers around the world work simultaneously in collaboration and competition with each other – a productive tension that leads to breakthroughs and innovations. McGill has a long-held commitment to openness in academic research and international cooperation.
In 2020, McGill’s Provost, Christopher Manfredi, gave McGill’s Global Engagement unit the mandate to draft a global engagement strategy. To expand McGill’s international collaborations, Global Engagement identified priority focus themes, countries, and regions.
Recently, Research and Innovation (RI) interviewed Brian Bauer, Director of Global Engagement, about why the work of the Global Engagement unit is committed to strengthening the internationalization of McGill’s research.
In early July, McGill’s Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic), Professor Christopher Manfredi, Mr. Brian Bauer (Director, Global Engagement), Dr. Nii Addy (Associate Director, Africa Outreach)/Senior Outreach Advisor), Dr. Anja Geitmann (Dean, Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences), Dr. Carola Weil (Dean, School of Continuing Studies) and several other McGill colleagues welcomed guests from the High Commission of Ghana in Ottawa. With the objective of building and strengthening ties between McGill and the Republic of Ghana. His Excellency Anselm Sowah, High Commissioner of Ghana to Canada, and two Ghanaian High Commission representatives, Mr. Mawutor Alifo (Minister, Trade and Investment) and Mr. Benyamin Y. Tanko (Minister-Counsellor, Political & Economic), were hosted for an afternoon programme at the university.
McGill University is on land which long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous people whose footsteps have marked this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.
We are here to help you propose a partnership agreement, apply for select funding opportunities, and welcome visitors to campus.
