Higher education has always been shaped by global developments. But in the last few years, the pace and scale of change have been unlike anything we’ve seen before. The pandemic, shifting geopolitical realities, rapid advances in technology, and increasing attention to sustainability and equity have pushed universities to rethink how they connect, collaborate, and operate globally.
In this new environment, internationalization is no longer just about student mobility or exchange programs. It’s about building flexible, innovative, and inclusive models of global engagement — models that can withstand uncertainty, harness digital opportunities, and create meaningful impact for students, faculty, and institutions.
With this in mind, EURAS is hosting a timely webinar as part of the EURAS Webinar Series: “Rethinking Internationalization in Higher Education: Lessons from Global Crises and Emerging Trends”
This session brings together some of the most influential voices in international higher education. They will reflect on what we have learned in recent years and share ideas on how universities can build stronger, more resilient internationalization strategies for the future.
