Roundtable session
Many higher education institutions lack support in navigating the process of Internationalisation at Home. Intriguingly, the potential of national agencies – entities that provide nationwide services for the education sector – to support institutions in this area remains largely unexplored. This session will showcase effective practices from the Netherlands and Switzerland and delve into European national agencies’ strategies for Internationalisation at Home.
I’m Lucie Weissova, currently serving as the Internationalisation at Home Coordinator at Halmstad University, Sweden. In this role, I’m dedicated to fostering inclusive internationalisation practices, such as internationalisation at home, curriculum internationalisation, and virtual exchange. Previously, I spent over a decade building international partnerships and student mobility programs at Jönköping University. Additionally, I work as a consultant for higher education institutions both nationally and globally.
With a background in International Education Management, I’m also pursuing a PhD at the Center for Higher Education Internationalisation at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Italy. My research focuses on the institutional support and professional development provided to academics to help them implement internationalisation of the curriculum.
I’m affiliated with the Mestenhauser Institute of International Collaboration, and I actively engage in both domestic networks (e.g., FINT) and international networks (e.g., World Council on Intercultural and Global Competence).
What I enjoy most are the global connections that continuously challenge and shape me, both personally and professionally.
