While much of the work of internationalisation in higher education plays out directly at the level of individual institutions, national-level actors also clearly have a key role in shaping and sustaining a country’s international education landscape.

Join us for a moderated discussion with three individuals from across Europe currently occupying these key leadership roles to learn more about the politics and policies of internationalisation from the ministers’ perspective.
