IAU Internationalization Strategies Advisory Service (ISAS)
The IAU offers the Internationalization Strategies Advisory Service (ISAS) to institutional leaders and teams interested in developing or reviewing their internationalization policy, strategy and various programs.
Having become renowned for its longstanding history of promoting, studying and documenting trends in internationalization of higher education and for sharing this knowledge globally, and as IAU Members and others seek to increase the level of preparedness of their students for a more globalized world, to offer new mobility opportunities for faculty and staff, to review their curriculum for improved internationalization ‘at home’; to strengthen their strategic research alliances or to develop marketing approaches to attract more exchange or fee paying international students, they have asked IAU for assistance so that they can benefit from the best thinking and practice from institutions around the world, the IAU launched this Internationalization Strategies Advisory Service (ISAS) for institutional internationalization planning and development. Many projects have been completed and new ones are developing.. Download IAU Horizons, 21, 1.

IAU 2015 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE The Internationalization of Higher Education: Moving Beyond Mobility University of Siena, 28-30 October
Internationalization of higher education (HE) is an important priority for university leaders and other HE stakeholders, including governments themselves. 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 conferences, our programmes aims at offering new insights and at inspiring new strategies, initiatives and projects.
Institutional, national and regional policies remain highly focused on only one aspect of the process – mobility, and such a singular focus can overshadow broader long-term goals and the numerous other ways that internationalisation can address them by improving the quality of the different dimensions of HE, and by fully integrating many broader, global challenges into the internationalized curriculum, research, campus life, management, the third mission, etc.
It is likely that internationalization efforts with the greatest potential impact lie with the ‘other’ aspects/activities that promote internationalization. This is why the IAU 2015 International Conference will primarily focus on the internationalisation of higher education beyond mobility. Download IAU Horizons, 21, 1.

This survey, the first of its kind since AUCC’s last such survey in 2006, presents an authoritative picture of internationalization activities across Canadian universities. It presents key findings in how internationalization activities are prioritized and carried out in university administration, strategic partnerships, research, student mobility, and teaching and learning.
By Geoff Maslen – Acting Global Editor. A new report has urged the French government to charge foreign students from outside the EU full tuition fees. As our France correspondent Jane Marshall reports in our Features section this week, the report says that the money likely to be raised – nearly US$1 billion – should be invested to ensure France adapts to the new challenges of internationalising higher education while offering a fair, high-quality, attractive system.
