The University of Gloucestershire welcomed the project consortium to Gloucestershire on 12 and 13 April. Representatives from the seven Indonesian and four European universities met the University’s Vice Chancellor Stephen Marston, Deputy Vice Chancellor Richard O’Doherty, and Dean of Academic Development David James. The main business of the meeting was to report on the outcomes of the HEInnovate institutional audits following the initial workshop in December 2017 and to plan for the design of physical spaces to be developed into local Growth Hubs, similar to the one based at the university. The visitors were also given a tour of the Growth Hub and met with local entrepreneurs at Oxstalls Campus. On the second day, a cultural event for Indonesian partners to showcase a diversity of local products produced by associated or alumni businesses was open to staff and students at the University of Gloucestershire.
