STEPS FORWARD TO

INTERNATIONALIZATION

“Best practices exchanges for internationalization of higher education” Workshop

November, 14th-15th – Sibiu, “Lucian Blaga” University

INTEGRATION an important issue in the internationalization process:

What does integration mean and why is it important?

To integrate people is to put them together to form a new group and keep their

individual characteristics

The important thing about integration is that the individual culture, and members of

cultural communities, are welcomed and accepted for what they are.

…and this is our policy

• Valuing integration tends to be our policy in the internationalization process and

it will be held through the following steps:

orientation and welcome services (Students

associations, welcome week, cultural events)

organization of International weeks

workshops, seminars

• To develop and intensify the process through identifying and establishing

agreements with universities in Europe and around the world on the

basis of similarity in relation to the areas of teaching, research and

innovation.

• The active participation in international mobility programs to increase

the capacity for internationalization

• To be involved more actively in programs such as Erasmus +, CEEPUS,

AUF - scholarship program "Eugen Ionesco“, DAAD, Marie Curie, Fulbright

and others

The major objectives:

Erasmus+ is one of the main programs that have increased the number of

our university mobility, mobility aimed both to students and teachers or

administrative staff.

Regarding this, our university aims further to increase mobility in the next

years

It is expected to increase mobility in Erasmus+ program at a rate of up to

30%.

41 partnerships with higher education institutions from 12 countries

(Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy, Great Britain, Poland, Portugal, Russia,

Spain, Sweden, Turkey)

In order to increase the number of mobility in the Erasmus+ program our

university will create a possible financial support, when the demand for

mobility exceeds.

How are we doing this?

To attract a larger number of foreign students, we will create study programs

in foreign languages.
