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.
