Partnership and Collaboration Equals Success | Ian Greer | TEDxQueensUniversityBelfast

Описание: When he started at Queen’s University in 2018, Professor Ian Greer was asked what his priorities were and he said partnership and collaboration. Partnership and collaboration within the organisation, across Northern Ireland, across Ireland, across the UK and Ireland, across the world because only through partnership and collaboration do you build trust. Only through partnerships and collaboration do you bring people and communities together to create that more holistic approach to our society and our economy. Through partnerships and collaboration you achieve success. Ian Greer has been President and Vice-Chancellor of Queen’s University Belfast since August 2018. He has extensive experience of university innovation driving regional economic growth, including cross-sector developments such as the Northern Health Science Alliance, a collaboration of eight Universities and NHS partners, and is the cofounder of the Health Innovation Research Alliance for NI.
He is a strong advocate for University social responsibility including widening participation. He leads the innovation pillar of the Belfast Region City Deal, driving innovation in key sectors for the local economy - creative industries, health innovation, data science & analytics, and advanced manufacturing. He is currently President of Universities Ireland, promoting collaboration across the island.
By way of background, he is a medical graduate of the University of Glasgow, with his research and clinical career in obstetrics & gynaecology. He has held senior leadership positions in several UK Universities, and was Vice President of the University of Manchester, immediately before moving to Queen’s.
