INTRODUCTION AND AIM Part 1

• Study conducted in the 47 countries of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA)

• Shows perceptions of individuals • Maps the state of internationalisation on

European and national level • Reveals knowledge & skill needs and gaps

What is the EAIE Barometer?

• Advance internationalisation through knowledge on state of European internationalisation

• Provide the practitioner view - the missing piece in the puzzle

• Shed light on knowledge and skill needs to support the content of our activities

• Establish EAIE as a thought leader

April 13, 2015

Why did we do this?

• EAIE in cooperation with research and consultancy company Ecorys

• Input from practitioners in different countries, institutions and positions

• Respondents from 33 EHEA countries: – 26 countries with at least 30 respondents – 7 countries with at least 10 respondents

• Findings present perceptions of 2 093 staff working at HEI’s

CONCLUSIONS Part 5

• Main reasons to internationalise: quality of education, preparing students for global world and attracting int’l students

• Leading HEI’s show highest occurrence of separate strategy while integrated strategy is most common in average HEI’s

• Most increase in # of strategic partnerships & their implementation and quality of int’l services

• Institutional and national monitoring of internationalisation is widespread

April 13, 2015

Conclusions: trends

• Top challenges across Europe: Improving int’l strategic partnerships, increasing outgoing student mobility & implementing int’l strategy

• Practitioners show bigger knowledge than skill needs

• General trends on knowledge and skill needs discernible across Europe

• Knowledge & skill needs vary by country and area of activity

April 13, 2015

Conclusions: knowledge and skills

• To advisory group members for valuable input • To members in EAIE leadership for feedback on

survey and help in spreading it
