IIGE Global Network COIL Matching Fair Held on May 22, 2024

The IIGE Global Network COIL Matching Fair took place on May 22, 2024, providing a unique opportunity for faculty members to meet and connect with potential COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) partners.

The event was held virtually on oVice, a custom virtual connection platform, with additional networking opportunities available on a Padlet board.

 

The live sessions began with opening remarks and collaboration tips from Prof. Andrew Sowter and COIL Coordinator Mariya Byvakina from IIGE, Kansai University. These introductions were followed by roundtable-style break-out sessions in oVice. To ensure ample networking opportunities, a virtual oVice space was created with match-making booths for both group and private meetings. During three rounds of discussions, participants shared their COIL interests and experiences, exploring potential collaborative opportunities.

 

The Matching Fair Padlet board will remain accessible for COIL networking until the end of August. For access, please contact the IIGE Secretariat at iige@ml.kandai.jp.
