The Office of International Affairs (OIA), CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Pune Lavasa Campus, successfully organised the International Experience Sharing Session Phase II on 17 December 2025, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, at the Banquet Hall, Central Block. This session was conducted as a continuation of Phase I with the objective of providing a structured forum for faculty members to share insights, reflections, and outcomes from their international academic engagements. The programme aimed to strengthen the university’s global outlook while promoting best practices in teaching, research, and institutional development.

The initiative was conceptualised to highlight the significance of international exposure in enhancing academic quality and professional competence among faculty members. It sought to disseminate knowledge gained through global academic interactions and encourage meaningful peer-to-peer learning. The session also aimed to motivate faculty members to actively participate in international mobility programmes, collaborative research projects, and academic exchanges, thereby contributing to the broader internationalisation goals of the university.

The session featured presentations by Dr. Gunavathi, Dr. Barna, Prof. Tanya Sharma, Prof. Nikita Nimbalkar, and Dr. Avichal Sharma, who shared their diverse international experiences. Each presenter offered detailed reflections on academic interactions with faculty and students at international institutions, exposure to innovative teaching–learning methodologies, and engagement with global academic practices. The presentations highlighted differences in pedagogical approaches, curriculum frameworks, assessment techniques, and the effective use of educational technology in higher education, providing valuable insights for contextual adaptation within the university.

In addition to teaching and learning perspectives, the faculty members emphasised the importance of research collaborations and interdisciplinary engagement. Experiences related to participation in international conferences, workshops, and scholarly discussions were shared, underscoring the role of global academic networks in enhancing research quality, academic visibility, and institutional reputation. The presenters also reflected on opportunities for joint publications, collaborative projects, faculty exchange initiatives, and long-term academic partnerships that emerged from their international engagements.

The session further facilitated reflective discussions among participants on aligning global best practices with institutional priorities. Faculty members gained clarity on administrative structures, academic governance models, and student engagement strategies adopted by international universities. Such discussions enabled participants to critically examine existing practices and identify areas for innovation and improvement within their respective departments and academic programmes.

Cross-cultural exposure and professional development formed a significant component of the discussions. Faculty members shared reflections on intercultural communication, academic work culture, and administrative practices observed abroad, highlighting the value of cultural sensitivity and adaptability in global academic environments. These experiences were acknowledged as contributing significantly to personal growth, global competence, and enhanced teaching effectiveness.

Overall, the programme served as an effective platform for knowledge dissemination, reflective learning, and academic inspiration, strengthening institutional collaboration and reinforcing shared academic values globally. The International Experience Sharing Session – Phase II reaffirmed CHRIST (Deemed to be University)’s commitment to internationalisation, academic excellence, and continuous quality enhancement in higher education. The event concluded with acknowledgements to all the presenters, organising and supporting teams, and participants for their valuable contributions, which ensured the successful conduct of the programme.
