Panel session
While the internationalisation of higher education is a strategic priority across European countries, not all states have a dedicated national strategy in place for international student mobility and higher education promotion. This session will show the current state of play and present examples from different European countries, looking at how strategy shapes practice and highlighting implementation issues for higher education promoters.
