Helen Spencer-Oatey is Professor in the Centre for Applied   Linguistics at the University of Warwick, UK. Having worked in China for many   years, her main research interests are in intercultural education and   intercultural interaction. She managed HEFCE’s £4M Sino-UK e-Learning Programme   for 7 years, which led to the book e-Learning Initiatives in China. Pedagogy,   Policy and Culture (Hong Kong University Press, 2007). With colleagues, she has   developed online training courses (e.g. GlobalPeople@Work), which include   modules on international teamwork and international leadership. One of her   current projects is on ‘Academic and social integration on campus’ and to help   with this, she and Daniel Dauber have developed the Global Education Profiler   (GEP) – a diagnostic tool for both staff and students on perceptions and   experiences of internationalisation. This is now commercially available   worldwide via i-Graduate. She and her colleagues have also recently launched a   complementary online course, Working in Groups. Full details of these and other   resources (many of which are open access) can be found on their GlobalPeople   website.
The world is becoming more global. Universities throughout the   world are internationalising, and both students and staff need to develop the   confidence and skills to function effectively in this environment. In this talk   I explore the following questions: 1. Why is culture important in international   projects? 2. How does culture impact on collaboration?
