Professor Mona Siddiqui OBE, RSE Vice President; InternationalInternationalisation is vital to any organisation and at its heart its about human connection, vision and valuing relationships. In a world where ideas can meet and also collide in seconds, the RSE is a safe and uniquely creative place to lead robust conversations and build collaboration and partnerships with Europe and the wider world.”
