By Claudia Civinini. An ability to limit numbers on non-Dutch language courses and higher fees for non-EEA students were some of the key proposals contained in a review of higher education internationalisation released by the Dutch government. More...
As we all know, the world is moving fast and furiously toward ever more integration of technology in our lives. Smartphone apps allow us to navigate our way through traffic across town, as well as guide us to meetings and professional events in far-flung locations around the world. More...
For some time now, concerns have been raised about the ways in which money has become a more central consideration when it comes to internationalization in higher education. It’s hard to disagree with this assessment, at least to some extent. It’s evident that some countries -- particularly the United States and Australia -- frame the benefits of internationalization in terms of revenue generation for individual institutions or entire national economies.

Porté par la mondialisation et par l'élévation du niveau de vie dans les pays émergents, le nombre des étudiants internationaux - c'est-à-dire des personnes étudiant dans un autre pays que le leur - ne cesse d'augmenter. Il pourrait passer d'environ 4 millions aujourd'hui à 7,5 millions en 2025. Cette internationalisation de l'enseignement supérieur ne se limite plus à la seule mobilité des étudiants : les formations et les établissements s'exportent, le contenu comme les outils pédagogiques évoluent, les collaborations scientifiques internationales sont valorisées. La France est un acteur important de l'internationalisation. Plus...
Devenus incontournables pour les étudiants, les écoles misent sur les cursus à l’étranger. Campus à l’étranger, accords ou accueil d’élèves étrangers en France : les voies sont multiples. Plus...
Internationalisation of the curriculum isn’t simply an à la carte addition to your internationalisation strategy – it’s an institution-wide shift that affects stakeholders across the university. When initiating big changes like these, practitioners would be well-served to take some cues from the business world and think in terms of change management. More...
When a liberal country such as the Netherlands cuts back on funding to support education in the global knowledge economy, other countries may follow with cuts. More...
The Systemic University Change Towards Internationalisation (SUCTI) project is a three-year initiative approved for funding under the European Commission’s Erasmus+ – KA2 Strategic Partnerships for higher education. The project is coordinated by the URV, Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Spain).
The project aims at empowering administrative staff by providing them with knowledge and skills related to their university’s internationalisation process. More...
What do a Chinese doctoral student at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, a globally recognised expert in education and pedagogy at Curtin University in Australia, and the Mauritius-born Associate Deputy Provost for International Programs at the University of Delaware in the United States all have in common? Like me, they were actively involved in the 2019 WES-CIHE Summer Institute hosted earlier this month at Boston College. More...
Once upon a time, at a mid-size university on the Mediterranean coast (my institution, Universitat Rovira i Virgili [URV]), on the occasion of an international week for all the constituents of the institution, a brave organising committee gathered for a brainstorm about the different activities they could put together for students, academics and administrative staff. It was easy enough to think of activities for our students, and a bit more challenging to think up some lectures and seminars for our academic staff. But the true challenge was figuring out what to offer our administrative staff. More...
