Meet The Team: Fraser Blain
In this series, we introduce you to the many academics and administrative staff that work tirelessly to help make GLOCAL the programme that it is. Today, we’re meeting Fraser Blain, Erasmus Mundus Projects Coordinator at the University of Glasgow
Fraser has worked with GLOCAL since 2022 as part of the Erasmus Mundus team at the University of Glasgow. He provides support to students and colleagues in areas including visa guidance, staff travel, sharing information about additional opportunities with students, and many more administrative tasks.
What do you enjoy most about GLOCAL?
“My favourite thing about GLOCAL is when all our students arrive at the start of their time on the programme in Glasgow – getting to meet students from all over the world and hear about their past experiences is fascinating.”
What makes a good GLOCAL student?
“A good GLOCAL student is confident, inquisitive, and respectful, someone who leads and shapes debates in a constructive and fully-rounded way. We want our students to have a real sense of who they are, what they believe in, and what they want to get from their studies.”
Why is GLOCAL worth studying in 2025?
“It’s more important than ever that we understand the impact of global and societal changes on our lives and communities, and GLOCAL provides an excellent opportunity to explore these at multiple mobility locations.”

GLOCAL re-funding bid is successful!
GLOCAL II is Go!
Fantastic news from the EACEA yesterday that our bid for the next tranche of funding for GLOCAL has been approved. This second round will provide scholarships for about 25 students each year for four years, with the first intake in September 2020. And the new programme is bigger, better and even more global, including as it does three new partners - Uppsala University in Sweden, Kyoto University in Japan and Universidad de Los Andes in Bogota, Colombia.
We are really excited about the opportunities this new programme offers to our students, and are extremely grateful to the two cohorts currently undertaking GLOCAL I for the challenges and inspiration they have provided thus far. At GLOCAL we believe in co-creation, and our students have played a critical role in shaping our thinking.
Huge thanks also to all of our Partners and Associate Partners around the globe - established and new - for their input. It is wonderful, and enormously rewarding, to be working with such a talented, committed and cooperative group of colleagues from across the world. International cooperation, despite what our political classes might argue, remains a fundamentally good thing.
We can now look forward to the graduation of the very first cohort of GLOCAL students in November, secure in the knowledge that there will be at least six more cohorts to come.
