Royal Agricultural University, UK. It has been announced that Esther Wilkinson is taking up the role of associate director of business development and research support at the RAU, after almost nine years leading international activities, relationships and international strategy development at Jisc. Having worked at the UK Research Councils, Universities UK International and Jisc this post will build on a breadth of sector experience, predominantly in international and research for the past 25 years. At Jisc, Esther led on developing solutions and support for HEIs to maintain quality international and TNE student experiences and access to resources through the pandemic; helping both UK and twinned universities in Ukraine with their developing and long-term needs; and more recent projects on TNE graduate outcomes and international student experience. Esther said she is “very much looking forward to new challenges at the RAU”, but also plans to “maintain relationships with networks of colleagues in the international space” – she also said she would “miss her lovely colleagues” at Jisc.
