Internationalisation beyond Europe’s frontiers: enhancing attractiveness through global Partnership and Cooperation, EUA Autumn Conference 2009, 8 – 10 October, University of Giessen, Germany
The Autumn Conference in Giessen, Germany, is the European University Association’s (EUA) first conference devoted to the internationalisation of European higher education.
In an effort to review the present state of internationalisation in European higher education and research, the Conference will explore European universities’ relationship with partners around the globe, and examine good practice on how cooperation and dialogue may be fostered in spite of, and in conjunction with, competition, at a time of a major global economic downturn.
It will examine institutional strategies and approaches, and discuss institutional roles, responsibilities and pressures, to internationalise beyond Europe’s frontiers.
It is hosted by the Justus Liebig University of Giessen, a modern and international university which looks back on 400 years of history.
