The big issues

Major shifts in the geopolitics of international Higher Education

• The threat to the classical public Humboldt type research- intensive university by under-investment and over-regulation

• Huge investments in HE and Research in China and Asia• Research universities to generate growth in national

knowledge-based economies• The heightened link between science, technology and

securitization• Increased competition for high quality human capital on an

intensively competitive global job market

Dias 10 Dias 10

Rationales for internationalization at a Research intensive University

• Tap a worldwide pool of talent

• Improve academic quality and enhance global reputation

• Match government policies (attract knowledge workers)

• Prepare students for a globalized, intercultural world

• Strengthen knowledge capacity building – working with developing countries/Emergent Markets

• Diversity in source of income

In search of an Institutional Internationalization Strategy

GOAL• Recruit international talent at all levels from BA-students to

postdocs and full professors• Provide students and scholars with international competence – a

driver´s licence to the global job market• Be influencial in shaping the global development within research

and Higher ed.

IMPLEMENTATION• Mobility of staff, students and Scholars• Internationalize Education (English taught courses, dual

programmes) and research through international partners• Establish strategic Star Alliances • Brand your institution globally (ranking)

IARU Presidents' Statement on Campus Sustainability

Addressing the impacts of climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the global community. While individual commitment to modifying the human impact on the environment is needed, this response must be lead by governments, industry and academia.

The International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU), comprising 10 of the world's leading Universities, has committed to providing leadership
