Aspiring international education leaders face the challenge of working in a constantly changing environment. The funding opportunities available, government visa regulations, key student markets and education delivery formats are undergoing change at an ever increasing rate. A recent study on the challenges faced by leaders in the field has revealed the key obstacles and pressing needs for those at the forefront of driving the internationalisation of higher education into a new age.
The final report from the joint European-Australian study ‘Leadership Needs in International Higher Education in Australia and Europe’, conducted by the EAIE and the International Education Association of Australia (IEAA) highlights the essential capabilities needed by international education leaders in Europe and Australia in light of the challenges they face.

By Allison M. Vaillancourt. Over the winter break I had lunch with with a colleague I have always admired. He is smart, classy and gregarious, and I have made a habit of observing the things he does to appear so confident, put together, and bulletproof. To my surprise and chagrin, he seemed like a different person when we got together recently. Instead of being confident, he was unsure.

Le logiciel libre joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans l’évolution des métiers du numérique. Aujourd’hui, 43% des entreprises utilisent des logiciels libres (INSEE, 2012). Ce secteur est ainsi en croissance de plus de 30% et représentait 2 milliards d’euros en 2011 (PAC, 2011).
