King’s College supports PM’s Anglosphere initiative

In an article in The Wall Street Journal Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, proposed a number of initiatives to express and extend the Anglo-US relationship.

The first proposal is for Professor Trainor and Professor John Sexton, the President of New York University, to convene a group to examine how co-operation can be intensified.

‘I am delighted to take forward this initiative with New York University and other US and UK universities,’ says Professor Trainor, ‘here at King’s we recently collaborated with New York University to be among the first to receive the new Transatlantic Digitization Collaboration Grant so I know that the partnership group will be able to build on many important academic collaborations. As a member of the UK/US Fulbright Commission and a Rhodes Scholar I also have a great personal interest in student mobility.’

US students are the largest overseas cohort in King’s College London’s international student body which includes representatives from more than 130 countries.

Vice-Principal Keith Hoggart is taking forward a number of internationalisation initiatives. He comments: ‘We have a number of deep and developing partnerships throughout the world. In the USA we have longstanding links with the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), Johns Hopkins, Pennsylvania, Georgetown and many others. We welcome any opportunity to do more with government support.'
