Robert Buttery
University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, Switzerland
My name is Robert Buttery. I am Head of International Relations at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland. I am standing for the General Council with a proven track record of success in our field.
I have been an active contributor to the EAIE for over 15 years through my involvement in the General Council, as Chair and long-standing member of the Business Education Expert Community and as an annual conference session speaker. I have also worked in direct collaboration with all Expert Communities and Task Forces. I am active on various national and international education committees, and I am a senior lecturer in management and international studies.
After a two-year break to focus on university projects during the pandemic, I intend to resume a leading role within the EAIE by applying my many years of experience and expertise at General Council level. If elected, I will:
• Strengthen the EAIE’s role as a driving force within international education
• Represent and promote the interests of all EAIE members
• Increase outreach to the wider international education community
• Be a relentless advocate for sustainable and inclusive education
• Ensure that the General Council’s mandate to maintain transparency and accountability is applied
