UW-Madison CIBER Sponsors Participation in 2008 FDIB Programs in China and India

In January 2008, the UW-Madison CIBER will co-sponsor two Faculty Development in International Business (FDIB) programs and provide partial support for UW System faculty and academic staff with teaching responsibilities to participate.

The India FDIB program will be held at the Management Development Institute (MDI) outside Delhi, India from Jan. 3–14, 2008. This program provides participants an in-depth understanding and insights into various aspects of life and business in one of the world’s largest emerging economies.

The China FDIB program will take place from Jan. 2-14, 2008 and focuses on Hong Kong, China’s Pearl River Delta and Shanghai. This study tour gives participants firsthand experience of these exciting regions and an opportunity to compare their phenomenal growth. Please visit the University of Colorado-Denver CIBER to learn more about the China FDIB and obtain updates on the 2008 trip.

The UW-Madison CIBER will pay registration costs and incidental trip-related expenses for up to two UW System faculty and academic staff to participate in each of these FDIB programs. Participants are responsible for their own international airfare. Applications for UW-Madison CIBER funding are due by Friday, October 12, 2007. To apply, please send an abbreviated CV and a cover letter indicating which program you are interested in attending and explaining your interest in the program and how its content would benefit your courses and/or research. Please send application materials to uwmadisonciber@bus.wisc.edu. For more information on these programs, please contact Suzanne Dove, CIBER outreach director, at sdove@bus.wisc.edu or 265-4938.
