This 2-day interactive and ‘hands-on’ program aims at developing participants’
understanding and skills in internationalizing their institutions. This involve thinking
through the enormous advantages of working with international partners to leverage
advantage in education and research. We will also look at the opportunities for

unique selling points, brand awareness and recognition, and international positioning.
The program will begin by examining internationalization in a higher education
context, understanding its purpose, and what the benefits and challenges can be.
We will look at how to successfully develop and implement an international
approach, agenda and strategy – and to implement these accordingly. It will also
stress the importance of appropriate governance and leadership arrangements –
and the role that all members of the institution can play in advancing the international
agenda.
Most crucially, the emphasis will lie on both equipping both top-level leaders and
individual teachers, researchers, and professional staff with appropriate skills in
internationalization.
