Who is PROWIBO?

Professors Without Borders (PROWIBO) aims to provide equal access to higher education for students all over the globe, equipping them with the skills needed to be inspiring leaders and have a meaningful impact in their communities.

At Carrier, we’re passionate about increasing our own knowledge of the world. We have a strong affinity to PROWIBO’s philosophy of championing education for all. Their ambition is to create a community of academics and professionals to share their expertise with students everywhere, and we are proud to embark on this journey with them.

PROWIBO’s priorities are to:

Build customised short-term summer schools for university students, made available to any institution that invites PROWIBO to their campus.

Offer tailored education and training experiences to companies, organisations and students, focusing on skills building for the 21st century, and provide additional free career development support online.

Operate a Think Tank, sharing learnings with other academics and policy makers, and publishing several papers a year based on experience learned in-country.

What’s the story?

Established in 2016, and gaining the support of Carrier in 2018, PROWIBO continues to grow, widen their reach and offer more summer schools to an increasing number of institutions worldwide.

As an official sponsor, Carrier funds and coordinates the flight arrangements for professors running the summer schools. Our support allows these schools to continue year on year.

Leaving a lasting impact

Swipe for a more detailed look at the aims, actions and academics underpinning PROWIBO's on-the-ground work.

  • Professional skills

    Educating up to 400 students a year, summer schools are designed to develop professional skills in countries all over the world, so far including 15 destinations.

  • The educational divide

    PROWIBO aims to bridge the educational divide between countries, aspiring to actively halt the 'brain drain' phenomenon by bringing academics into a country rather than taking students out.

  • Developing talent

    By developing talent at home and encouraging students to build their skills as well as their confidence, they will be equipped to contribute to the development and growth of their country.

  • Workshops

    Inspired by a Summer Schools model from the London School of Economics, PROWIBO aims to place the best and brightest teachers, professionals and academics in institutions of higher education around the world to run one to two week long skills-building workshops.

  • Academics

    The team includes academics from the University of Oxford, London School of Economics & Political Science, University of Bath, University of Leeds, New York Institute of Technology and Richmond, The American International University in London.

  • Local lecturers

    Working with local lecturers to address the needs of the community, courses are tailored to each university and have covered diverse topics such as peacekeeping and negotiation in a post-conflict environment, design thinking and entrepreneurship, global finance and implementing community health intervention. 

  • Adapted courses

    Courses are adapted to each country where PROWIBO teaches, and universities can request specific courses. Each course lasts between three and ten days, with a minimum of an hour and a half of class each day.

  • Self-contained courses

    All courses are university-level from undergraduate to masters and are self-contained; meaning students are not required to have previous experience with taught material.

  • Aware of the world

    PROWIBO aims to make students aware of the world as well as encourage them to develop a responsible and responsive attitude to their immediate surrounding.

Looking forward
Where to in 2025?

For the fourth year running, we're taking Black Friday as an opportunity to give back. As a small act of kindness, rather than discounting, we will be donating all of our profits made on Friday 29th November 2024 to Professors Without Borders (PROWIBO) to support flights to their summer schools in the coming year.
