British Council Mexico Visit

The Newton Fund team from the British Embassy in Mexico City are visiting the UK, joined by representatives from key Technological Colleges and Research Centres, mainly Chief Academic Officers, Directors of Technological Universities and a representative of the Mexican Ministry of Education. The delegates oversee approximately over 500 institutions from Mexico collectively. They are visiting Oxford to present their institutions and discuss potential interactions in the areas of health and nutrition, ‘agri-tech’, energy, climate change, and future cities. This exercise is intended to shape future Newton Fund calls up to 2021.
