Internationalisation in Higher Education as a challenge (Chair: Paula Odete Fernandes and Isabel Lopes)

 

Description: Higher Education Institutions (HEI) increasingly operate in a competitive, dynamic and differentiated environment that forces them to adopt a new strategic position in the market. The phenomenon of internationalisation has become one of the main key factors for HEI and strategic priorities for them worldwide. Most HEI include internationalisation as a pillar of their competitive strategy, since it is a way to promote: network cooperation and knowledge transfer at different levels; new emerging standards and benchmarks for higher education; education, research, exchange and capacity building; solutions in joint and double degree programmes; challenges for understanding the cultural diversity, tolerance and political conflict; among other situations that allow greater sustainable growth of HEI.
