Article: Four Steps for Creating Sustainable Academic Partnerships

A blog post on the European Association for International Education's website offers four practical steps for developing sustainable academic partnerships. These steps include: finding a suitable partner, developing a shared vision, gaining institutional commitment from all sides, and ensuring longevity. According to the post, "The establishment of an academic partnership can be compared with a marriage: one needs to know (more or less) what one wants and expects, to invest time to find and choose the right partner, to get to know the partner, and last but not least, to be prepared for challenges. Healthy academic partnerships operate on a basis of equality and mutual recognition. The parties should be both compatible (equal enough) and complementary (different enough). And throughout the partnership, all those involved need to be willing to work and make it last."
