EAIE & Nuffic Insight Event: Inclusion

 Why attend?

The theme of the event centres around the urgent concern of achieving inclusive internationalisation in Dutch higher education. Internationalisation is a key tool to improve the quality of students’ educational experiences and outcomes, and access to such benefits should be widely available to all students. In the Netherlands (as elsewhere), the realities of both shifting political priorities and longstanding gaps in access by underrepresented groups require international education advocates to pay ever closer attention to the work of achieving inclusive internationalisation.

For the inaugural event in the EAIE Internationalisation Insight Series, we are collaborating with Nuffic, the Dutch organisation for international education, to bring together mid- and senior-level higher education professionals working on policies and strategies in the field of international education in the Netherlands. Join fellow colleagues on 06 March 2025 in Utrecht for an afternoon of candid conversations and networking.
