Spotlight session
The EAIE Thematic Committee Research on Internationalisation is interested in the range of scholarly inquiry that is focused specifically on the phenomenon of internationalisation in higher education, as well as the intersections between this research and the work of practitioners in the field of international higher education. This session offers participants the opportunity to learn about a variety of internationalisation topics that are currently being explored by a number of early-career researchers in our field and how this work aligns with the interests of professional practice. Time will also be dedicated to exploring the range of topics about which the EAIE community would like to see research developed. Finally, the discussion will focus on how and where researchers and practitioners can create synergies between research and practice: how can we better collaborate and support one another in our shared interests to expand the knowledge base that frames our field.
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.
