Europe-wide interest
In this session, Prof. Daniel Donoghue discusses how Durham University and Coimbra Group members approached the evaluation of their internationalisation strategies, and why it generated interest with the European Commission.
Identifying the hurdles
In this session, Prof. Helen Spencer-Oatey examines the gaps in staff confidence and the staff experience that pose challenges to developing successful international collaborations and partnerships.
The Global Education Profiler - informing the move towards more meaningful internationalisation
During the session we hear how the University of Warwick's study of the quality of the global learning environment students and staff are experiencing is now helping institutions continuously improve the effectiveness of their internationalisation strategies.
Existing measures of internationalisation focus on structural / demographic-type criteria, such as the proportion of international students and international staff. Yet such measures do not capture the extent to which the diverse university population are integrated into a community, nor the benefits that such integration can bring. We report on the use of an innovative new tool that was recently made available to the sector to capture such experiences and benefits.
In this paper, we investigate this fundamental challenge faced by the Higher Education sector, reporting on the steps being taken by researchers and institutions to advance their understanding of the conditions required to meet the growing need for global graduates.
