With the promise of an inspirational education blog I was lured to the EAIE website ... and yes this does have the potential to become an interesting site to add to my RSS feeds on international education.
The EAIE (European Association for International Education) is a non-profit, member-led organisation which serves as a centre for expertise, networking and resources in the internationalisation of higher education. For all those people actively involved in the internationalisation of their institutions it has a lot to offer, not least the stimulating annual conferences.
And now they've launched a blog, as part of their entirely new website. To reflect their expanding global presence in the international higher education arena they have given their site a spectacular facelift, they state, packed with a host of interactive features. This is definitely most welcome !
It's always good to have sites that keep track of the latest trends and offer insightful commentaries, especially with a topic like internationalisation. The fact is that for many involved in higher education, internationalisation is not core business, but something they do alongside, next to many other activities and responsibilities. For all those a one-stop site like this is a real boon.
Although I've never attended any of their training seminars or professional development courses, I've often been tempted to register for one. Who knows maybe one day I will attend ?
Those who have outspoken views and keep a close track on developments and trends in international higher education may feel the urge to write an essay as a response to an appeal on the blog.
* How will internationalisation evolve in the coming 25 years?
* What are the main challenges, opportunities and new manifestations of internationalisation emerging in the coming decades?
* What will be the role of European higher education in the global context?
Intriguing questions to think and write about indeed.
Let's see what visions for the future will come up !
