an ACA Policy Seminar on Digitalisation for Internationalisation 

22 November 2019, Brussels

From physical to virtual? 

Internationalising higher education in the digital age

In the 61^st European Policy Seminar, ACA will revisit the topic physical and virtual mobility from the perspective of policy makers and practitioners driving internationalisation agendas in their respective institutions. We will take you on a journey into the future of Europe's digital agenda for the new Erasmus programme and other national mobility programmes, provide you with demos and direct Q&A opportunities with developers of digital infrastructure and tools for internationalisation, and guide you through new data-driven approaches for strategizing internationalisation efforts.

Who should attend?

The one-day intensive programme is to tie together all cross-cutting issues related to internationalisation and digitalisation, and bring together policy makers and practitioners for an all-round discussion on policies and practices.

Our traditional target participants are policy makers and staff members working on internationalisation matters:

• senior management staff charting internationalisation strategies;
• staff members of internationalisation offices;
• coordinators of international study programmes;
• staff members of marketing, recruitment and admissions offices;
• researchers and analysts of national bodies and universities active in the field of internationalisation. 

Particularly for this seminar, universities that are newly selected or preparing for the upcoming rounds of the European Universities Initiative or other global university alliances should find the programme relevant in preparation of the challenges of "deep integration" using digital tools.

Of course, the mainstreaming of internationalisation and digitalisation means that our programme will not only benefit our traditional target groups but any higher education professionals or academics actively involved in both internationalisation and digitalisation activities.

All are welcome. We believe that diversity and inclusion will only benefit the entire discussion in the one-day seminar.

Registration will be open after the summer break, because we need to wait for the confirmation of the best possible speakers.
