The UCC Centre for Outreach and Global Engagement (UCC COGE) serve as a strategic hub for fostering global academic engagement and partnerships. Designed with a phased implementation approach, the Centre aims to first strengthen national collaborations, then expand to region-specific partnerships within South Asia, and eventually engage in twinning programs with international institutions as part of a broader global outreach. Its core objectives include enhancing academic excellence through joint programs, faculty exchanges, training, and collaborative research initiatives; promoting cultural understanding through short-term exchanges and workshops; expanding UCC’s global network by formalizing partnerships through Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs); and increasing the institution’s international visibility. The Centre also aims to attract funding from both national and international sources, thereby supporting UCC’s commitment to becoming a globally connected and academically vibrant institution.
