Why strategic partnerships?

New version of the widely accepted definition of internationalisation in higher education (Jane Knight)

'the intentional process of integrating an international, intercultural or global dimension into the purpose, functions and delivery of post-secondary education, in order to enhance the QUALITY of education and research for all students and staff, and to make a meaningful contribution to society'.

(changes in bold)
