PIER Dossier

The PIER Dossier is a database of selected individuals who have significant experience in international education, and who are currently engaged in consultancy, research and related activities. It offers an opportunity for professionals to share knowledge and ideas, to discuss issues of current concern, to develop a peer network and to increase their scope for professional development. It also encourages people who wish to develop a consultancy profile, to communicate their interests to the PIER network. PIER Dossier members regularly contribute articles of interest, through the PIER Blog, to the international education community.

Through the Dossier, PIER aims to increase awareness of, and access to, some of the key leaders and researchers in the field. This access creates an environment for enquiry, consultancy engagement, or program and project development. PIER viewers are encouraged to contact the Dossier members direct.

For further information and membership of the PIER Dossier, contact the PIER Manager, Paula Dunstan at pdunstan@pieronline.org. Dossier members should log in to update their profile.
