Sessions
What is the task of internationalisation? At this panel discussion, practitioners and a student will illustrate why internationalisation in itself is not necessarily an aim. They will discuss how we might think beyond internationalisation in order to address our shared global challenges in equitable, sustainable, and ethical ways. Of course, the role of digitalisation will be addressed as well.
Many institutions are still in the beginning of their digital transformation journey and are facing similar challenges. In this workshop, challenges in the area of internationalization of higher education are discussed and possible approaches are identified using the Nowland-Nextland method. Based on the peer-to-peer strategy consulting of the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung, participants engage in an intensive exchange on strategic issues.
