Consortial Outreach Activities (2002 - 2006)

CIBER has undertaken a range of outreach pedagogical, research, and related activities based on a consortial approach with select CIBER and other centers. Outlined below are some of these commitments with a brief explanatory note:

1. Annual Foreign Language Educators' Workshops
   An annual two-day, multilanguage track program is offered in conjunction with the University of Memphis CIBER and co-sponsored by several CIBER centers sharing similar interests in enhancing faculty skills. The workshops typically occur in February. A set of faculty scholarships are made available for Georgia Tech-sponsored faculty interested in participating. This program is designed to provide accelerated training for college-level language faculty interested in expanding or improving their pedagogical skills in the area of foreign business language.

2. Annual Faculty Globalization Seminars
   An annual three-day, multi-area faculty development seminar in the international business program is organized in association with the University of Memphis along with other co-sponsoring CIBER centers. They are designed to offer business faculty the opportunity to bring up-to-date information to the knowledgebase in various subfields of international management.

3. National CIBER Language Conference
   CIBER is a member of the steering committee of the annual national CIBER language conference offered on a rotational basis among steering committee CIBER universities in early spring. This major national conference is designed to provide state-of-the-art exposure to researchers and teachers alike in the area of language teaching methodologies with an emphasis on the business and applied dimensions.

4. International Undergraduate Case Competition
   In association with the Ohio State University (OSU) CIBER and six other CIBER centers, this case competition has eight teams that are involved in the first competition. Teams, made up of students representing seven CIBER institutions will compete. In addition, two teams would be from international institutions, ideally geographically diverse. The international school teams will be selected from a list of nominees from the participating CIBER institutions. The finals will be held at the Fisher College of OSU.

5. Annual Doctoral Workshop in International Entrepreneurship
   In partnership with the Business Schools and Entrepreneurship Centers at Georgia State University and the University of Minnesota, Georgia Tech CIBER established an annual three-day workshop in 1999 designed for Ph.D. dissertation-ready students and candidates in the management disciplines to explore research themes, methods, and funding opportunities and provide a forum to further this area of study while training the next generation of international business professors. It is held at the end of the second week of May and attracts around 30 doctoral students, many of them receiving a scholarship.
