By . Today’s blog post is the second in a three-part series focusing on the 2016 Conference Conversation Starter.

By . In a world where the need for international and intercultural collaboration is highlighted on what seems like a daily basis, it’s more important than ever to promote the values of higher education and recognise those in our community who are working to foster international partnership and exchange.

By . The Liverpool Waterfront, where the 28th Annual EAIE Conference is being held, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its imposing, distinctively maritime architecture is a gateway to the city’s industrial, colonial past. Its modern-day tenants – bars, museums, etc – are proof of its vibrant, worldly present. It’s virtually impossible to look out at the Mersey River and not be wowed by what our host city has achieved. More...

By . In just over a month, the Annual EAIE Conference will be kicking off. We’re sure you know by now that this year we are headed to the magical, musical city of Liverpool, UK.

By . For the past weeks the debate in international education in Europe has been coloured by Brexit, the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the EU, and its implications for research cooperation and mobility. Despite prevalent anti-immigration sentiments in many parts of Europe and a bleaker view on the future of European integration, new streamlined EU regulations on entry and residency of third country students and researchers have been agreed on in May 2016. We take a closer look at what these new rules entail and why they matter. More...
By . The July issue of the Journal of Studies in International Education highlights academic staff experiences in international branch campuses, the impact of transnational education, and how higher education institutions can be a tool for public diplomacy. Furthermore, you will find articles that tackle subjects such as MOOCs and how they are perceived by academics and the distinct perceptions academic and administrative staff have with regard to internationalisation. We hope that this melange of interesting bits of internationalisation encourage you to explore these articles further. More...
The simple answer would be that it’s conducted by a large student network, the biggest in Europe with more than 500 local associations in 39 European countries. Indeed, spreading a questionnaire through such a network creates the expectation of a great amount of answers, but it’s not just any questionnaire that can be sent through the Network and expected to have the same outreach.
