Internationalisation Strategy: Development I • Until 2008 no explicit internationalization strategy • Implicitly internationalization forms an important part of the
University of Vienna‘s mission statement and its practice in research and teaching
• But: a clear internationalization strategy is important for the University of Vienna in the 21th century to…
– improve quality in research & teaching – enhance international attractiveness & positioning – increase the chances for students, teachers and researchers
internationally – increase “internationality” in some fields where the University of
Vienna has a need to improve – increase the commitment to internationalization among all
members of the University – come to better decisions based on better data
