Get your partnership recognised on the global stage
Introducing the Going Global Partnerships Awards.
Celebrating five years of Going Global Partnerships, the Awards will showcase impactful, unique and inspirational higher education and TVET partnerships funded through the programme.
Winning partnerships will demonstrate their impact on education and meaningful contribution to sustainable development.
Awards will be presented on-stage at Going Global 2025 in London, attended by international policymakers, education leaders and sector stakeholders.
Recognising exceptional partnerships
The Awards will recognise exceptional partnerships, meaning those that are:
- impactful – have made a significant difference to tertiary education and a meaningful contribution to one of the Sustainable Development Goals
- unique – have brought new and innovative approaches to tackling the challenge of the selected Sustainable Development Goal
- inspirational – have the potential to inspire others through transferable practices and impactful stories.
Contribution to sustainable development
Nominated partnerships will be required to demonstrate their contribution to one of the Sustainable Development Goals.
While a partnership may have contributed to multiple Goals, only one can be selected in the nomination, so partnerships should identify the Goal they have made the most significant contribution to before nominating.
How many partnerships will be awarded?
The Awards will recognise four higher education partnerships and one TVET partnership.
Who can nominate?
The Awards are open to institutional partnerships funded by the British Council’s Going Global Partnerships programme.
To be eligible, a partnership must have:
- received funding starting after 1 April 2021 and concluding by 31 December 2024 for higher education partnerships or 31 March 2025 for TVET partnerships
- submitted a final report
- returned any grant underspend to the British Council.
How to nominate
Download and read the guidance for nominations document.
Submit your nomination using the online form (you will be prompted to register if you have not used Good Grants previously).
Application deadline: 8 June, 23.59 BST
Applications must clearly state all of the institutional partners that contributed to the partnership.
Only one application per institutional partnership is permitted, so collaborative applications between the project partners are strongly encouraged. In the case of multiple applications from within the same partnership, only the last application received will be assessed.
