GÉANT Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are established under the auspices of GÉANT in order to create an open forum where experts from its community exchange information, knowledge, ideas and best practices about specific technical or other areas of business relevant to the research and education networking community.
The GÉANT SIG–TNE is a forum for interchanging knowledge and experiences on Transnational Education (TNE).
Transnational Education (TNE) is an area of significant growth across the globe, providing education developed in one country and delivered in another. Whilst the principles and reasons for engaging in TNE tend to be relatively consistent, the area presents many challenges including variance of national education systems and the changing political climate, the diverse models of TNE delivery and fundamentally, the technology to support and access such education systems between both sending and receiving countries.
The main aims of the SIG-TNE:
To provide a forum for gathering and exchanging experiences, ideas and knowledge on supporting transnational education nationally;
- To identify and address common challenges in supporting TNE, such as the development of sustainable business models, overseas licensing and communication issues;
- To identify and develop services and service packages to support TNE globally;
- To develop a best practice guide which helps all participants in TNE from the perspectives of the host country, the ‘sending’ country, the developing NREN and the host academic institution (university, college etc)
- To provide a persuasive body of evidence for those NRENs developing support for their country to enable decision makers to resource technological support effectively; and
- To harmonise country approaches (e.g. policy for connectivity) and NREN collaboration to ‘ease’ the delivery of TNE globally.
