Internationalization strategy for higher education

Internationalization strategy

Almost every institution already has international activity: signed agreements, a few mobilities, scattered co-authorships. What is usually missing is the strategy that orders them and the funding that sustains them. Three workshops to build both with your own team.

Three workshops, twelve hours

Each workshop runs four hours and ends with a piece of work built on the institution itself. Nothing goes home without having started in the session.

Where the institution stands today

4 hours

An inventory of what already exists: live and dormant agreements, three years of mobility, co-authorships, courses taught in another language, network memberships
What counts as internationalization and what is just a trip
Indicators the institution can actually sustain over time
Reading the starting point with the whole team in the room

The strategy and where it enters

4 hours

From a statement to a plan with targets, owners, deadlines and a budget
Internationalization at home: virtual exchange, mirror classrooms and intercultural competences for those who do not travel
Curriculum: credit recognition, double degrees, joint thesis supervision, teaching in another language
Partnerships: how a counterpart gets chosen and how to write an agreement that produces results rather than paper

What pays for it

4 hours

The map of international cooperation: European programmes, bilateral agencies and regional funds
How to read a call for proposals and what role an institution from the region can take
Budget, partners and the requirements that disqualify you before you start
Building a pipeline of three calls with closing dates and an owner for each
