Matchmaking event for the Digital Collaboration cohort program

The Digital Collaborations cohort program aims to foster and support collaborations across AMICAL institutions on digital projects or assignments that are integrated into coursework. It promotes the development and exchange of expertise in digital scholarship and pedagogy while cultivating innovative, multicultural teaching and learning experiences. The program is being funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.

More information about this program, including details about the support offered and a tentative timeline, are available on our website.

The first phase of the program is a matchmaking event whose aim will be to help those participating in the event to find a partner at another institution to work on a viable curriculum-integrated digital collaboration in the next academic year.

This event is for those who do not yet have a partner at another institution. If you connect with an AMICAL partner on your own, outside of this event, you will still be able to apply for support for your collaboration through our AMICAL Digital Collaborations program, which will open in early May.

The matchmaking will take place over two sessions on April 26 and 27. We will do our best to schedule there a series of 1-on-1 meetings between participants and all those they’ve expressed interest in partnering with. Participants will be invited to join one or both of the session dates, depending on who we were able to schedule meetings with. (If you aren’t able to attend either session of the matchmaking event, you can still sign up, and we’ll help connect you to potential partners.)
