[ IAU 2015 International Conference: Internationalisation of Higher Education: Moving beyond mobilityLink defekt? Bitte melden! ]

The expectations with regard to the benefits of internationalization are continuously expanding, as is the range of activities carried out in the name of internationalisation. As globalization touches on all aspects of economic, social and cultural life in all corners of the world, ideally, internationalization of higher education offers a research and education response by preparing graduates for this new context, by conduction research on global issues and in cooperation, and by strengthening intercultural understanding and appreciation of diversity and difference. The conference will question whether the internationalization strategies achieve these ideals, or if on the contrary in some respects they may produce a negative impact – cultural and linguistic homogeneity, brain drain instead of brain circulation and benefiting the spread of some knowledge at the expense of knowledge created elsewhere.

The following main topics will frame the conference discussions:
- Internationalization: a Path to more Quality?
- Can Internationalization change the Student Experience without mobility?
- Internationalization as a knowledge change agent
