Internationalization of Higher Education Practices and Priorities

Internationalization of Higher Education Practices and Priorities: 2003 IAU Survey Report

The IAU’s commitment to and interest in the processes of internationalization is reflected in all of the Association’s activities. The IAU Working Group on Internationalization is charged with the responsibility to guide the work of the Association in this area. The 2000 IAU Policy Statement Towards a Century of International Cooperation, and a major international conference in Lyon, France in 2002, are just two examples of IAU activities in this field.

The 2003 institutional internationalization survey and this report build on such past initiatives. This project was motivated by UNESCO’s invitation that IAU prepare a background report on internationalization for the World Conference on Higher Education (WCHE) + 5 follow-up meeting in June 2003. Internationalization of Higher Education Practices and Priorities - 2003 IAU Survey Report marks both a result of IAU work so far, and a starting point for more activities. Even before this report was published, the survey sparked interest among IAU members and partners.

The first IAU Global Survey on Internationalization is not available digitally.
