Main thematic areas
Navigating the technological shift
How can universities harness AI, digitalisation, and data analytics responsibly to design smarter, more agile internationalisation strategies while preserving academic values and human judgement?
Challenges of Internationalisation
How can universities address structural, social, and financial barriers to internationalisation while ensuring inclusive, safe, and meaningful international experiences for all students and staff? What impact does the current turbulent geopolitical environment have on internationalisation, and how are universities responding to it?
From recruitment to retention
How can universities design a coherent, student‑centred strategy that connects recruitment, admissions, support services, and alumni engagement? What innovative tools, partnerships, and support mechanisms can institutions use to make recruitment more targeted, admissions more transparent, integration more inclusive, and student success more sustainable?
Global & Regional Partnerships
How can universities build sustainable global and regional partnerships that balance strategic priorities, mutual benefits, and equitable collaboration between regions with different capacities and needs? What role do multi‑actor networks, European University alliances, and international programmes play in reshaping global higher education, and how can institutions overcome structural and operational obstacles to deeper cooperation?
