Organisation : Academic Cooperation Association (ACA)
Programme :
The 2015 ACA Annual Conference will address the theme of internationalisation strategies for higher education institutions from a double perspective. First, it will consider different concepts and approaches to internationalisation strategies, and at ways to design them. Second, it will address issues around the implementation of such strategies. We aim for a global perspective, with the majority of speakers coming from Europe, and presenting European approaches, but with several notable presenters originating from elsewhere in the world.
Sub-themes of the conference include mainstreaming of internationalisation as a strategic approach, branding a higher education institution, resourcing internationalisation strategies, and generating internal ‘buy in’ for them. We might even pose the heretical question of whether or not an internationalisation strategy is necessary for success in the international arena. Further, we will look at particular challenges to internationalisation efforts and how to overcome them, such as the integration of foreign students, teaching in English, incentivising short-term mobility of students and staff, and international marketing and student recruitment.
