The new International Education Research and Innovation Strategy will be a high-level document setting ambitious yet achievable strategic goals and objectives in international education and research, and will seek to align further and higher education with research and innovation in a single strategy. 

The new strategy will also play a key role in the recovery of these sectors following the pandemic and will provide a framework on which to develop and strengthen existing and new connections. 

The responses to the consultation are being analysed, and further engagements with stakeholders are taking place.  I am hopeful that the Strategy will be published by the end of this year.
