L’internationalisation des universités françaises : éléments pour une histoire
Blog Educpros de Guillaume Tronchet.

Staff exchange programmes and campus internationalisation
By Anne Schiller and Rita Rowand. Today and tomorrow on the EAIE blog, we are highlighting the winter issue of the EAIE’s member magazine Forum on the theme of Internationalisation at Home. While mobility may still reign as a key aspect of internationalisation, it is by no means the only one.

Today’s authors discuss a case study from George Mason University illustrating how well-thought-out staff mobility programmes can internationalise the campus at home. More...
