UNICA-IAU Master Class 2019 on Internationalization of Higher Education

The Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe (UNICA) and the International Association of Universities (IAU) are pleased to launch their first joint Master Class on internationalization of Higher Education.

What does it mean to be a Vice-Rector for Internationalization in today's moving world?

In the era of globalization, internationalization of higher education has become inevitable. Institutions develop deliberate internationalization strategies to improve the quality of education, research and service to society. This requires the full engagement of the academic leadership as it is gaining increasing relevance in the strategic decision-making process.
