Higher Education for sustainable Development and the Transition to the SDGs and the Post-2015 Development Agenda
Quality management (QM) has become a major strand of higher education reform worldwide. Many higher education institutions (HEIs) have set up QM mechanisms not only to comply with the requirements of national quality assurance agencies or regulatory bodies, but also to generate information that responds to their internal requirements for quality monitoring and management.

Internationalization as a Knowledge Change Agent

This issue of IAU Horizons offers a selection of thought-provoking papers on Leadership challenges and strategic management, thus fueling a reflection on one of the key thematic areas of work for the Association.
Internationalization as a Knowledge Change Agent
The pursuit, dissemination and application of knowledge are the key and unique functions of higher education institutions. When these are undertaken in the context of deliberate internationalization, new knowledge is created and pedagogical approaches are often modified. Exploring how knowledge may be altered, enriched and co-created through international collaborations is rarely explored or documented and yet, it is at the heart of why internationalization is so important in today’s globalized world. Exploring how internationalization can and does change knowledge, whether these changes are similar or different when comparing different disciplines, particularly social sciences and humanities with sciences and engineering, whether the process leads to mutual learning and enrichment or whether instead it consolidates the dominance of Western epistemology are the various questions that will be the focus of this session.

Can Internationalization change the Student Experience without Mobility?

This issue of IAU Horizons offers a selection of thought-provoking papers on Leadership challenges and strategic management, thus fueling a reflection on one of the key thematic areas of work for the Association.
Can Internationalization change the Student Experience without Mobility?
Much of the rationale for internationalization revolves around preparing students for life and work in a more globalized world. For this reason, having an opportunity to go abroad during the study period is seen as an important aspect of the student experience. Yet only a minority of students can benefit from such mobility. So what are universities doing for those who stay at home? What are ways in which internationalization without mobility can change the student experience? More importantly, beyond considering how graduates will succeed on the labour market in a more globalized context, how do we prepare students to life in a context that is more multicultural and multi-ethnic, and in which global challenges – poverty, climate change, and health epidemics can easily affect their daily life locally.

Internationalization: A Path to more Quality and Capacity?

This issue of IAU Horizons offers a selection of thought-provoking papers on Leadership challenges and strategic management, thus fueling a reflection on one of the key thematic areas of work for the Association.
Internationalization: A Path to more Quality and Capacity?
It is generally assumed that internationalization leads to improved quality of higher education and, that it strengthens capacity for knowledge production in developing countries. These assumptions are in large measure the reason for the importance given to the process. In some respects, it has also been generally taken for granted that this is so, while in some circumstances, especially with respect to continued brain drain, increased capacity is not really achieved, benefits are not shared by all, nor are opportunities available to all. This session will focus on how HEIs, faculty members and others can demonstrate the benefits of internationalization, show how quality of education – especially given the variety of institutional contexts is enhanced, and examine whether capacity is increased in all institutions especially the capacity to address key societal and global issues. Speakers will be asked to consider the internationalization process in a comprehensive manner, share their ideas about relevant indicators and especially look at how quality and capacity are affected by internationalization that does not necessarily involve mobility.

Internationalization of Higher Education: moving beyond mobility

This issue of IAU Horizons offers a selection of thought-provoking papers on Leadership challenges and strategic management, thus fueling a reflection on one of the key thematic areas of work for the Association.
Internationalization of Higher Education: moving beyond mobility
Internationalization of higher education is an important priority for many governments, for university leaders and other higher education stakeholders. It has been on the IAU agenda for many years and has led the Association to develop policy, research and related services in support of institutional efforts in internationalization. Though it is a frequent theme of national and international conferences, we hope that the IAU 2015 programme offers new insights into the internationalization of higher education and inspire new strategies, initiatives and projects.
