Internationalisation : Definitions

• « Internationalisation of HE is the intentionnal 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 » (De Witt, 2015)

• « IHE is an ongoing process of change whose objective is to integrate the institution and its key stakeholders (its students and faculty) into a global knowledge economy (Hawamini )

• Conflictual dynamics: on the one hand, internationalization, standardization driven by International Organisations, rankings, on the other the influence of socio-political environments and the need to differentiate on the markets; on one hand, societal and ethical purpose, on the other, a stress on economy.

FIUC, ODUCAL : What is our main purpose ?

Internationalization – Global Challenges

1- Access : Cost2 - Adequacy between university offer and student / parent / employer expectations3 – Which purpose for our catholic universities : "Coopetition" (markets-homogeneity-differentiation) or global work including global solidarity among our universities ?4- Foresight Issues : Integration of innovation = Strategic Management of innovation, integration of innovation issues and practices in programs and at pedagogical level; what about digital strategies ?

Barriers to internationalization

• 1 - lack of financial resources,

• 2 - limited experience / expertise of relevant staff,

• 3 - too rigid curriculum

• 1 : What responses from ODUCAL and from FIUC ?

• 2 : Towards an international group of catholic universities dedicated to internationalization shared expériences ?

Five Aspects of the Impact of Internationalization 1 - Student and academic mobility: impact on the international job market (studying abroad multiplies the chances of working in a country other than one's country of origin // ODUCAL and FIUC Services2 - International student recruitment (a- social selection, b- global student recruitment market ) // ODUCAL and FIUC Services3 - Internationalization of teaching and research: internationalization of curricula, quality of international programs, internationalization at home, role of foreign languages, joint degrees // ODUCAL and FIUC Services4 - Global Citizenship Education (Ex: Staff Development Program for Internationalization, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande Sul -PUCRS) : Catholic identities and catholic universities services for a global world

OECD : Scenarios for internationalization

Scenario 1: Business as usualStudent mobility: OECD UNESCO: 0.6 million in 1975, 2.7 in 2004, 4.1 in 2013 - Risk: migration policies - country risksScenario 2: Doing Less But Better (Doing less but more efficiently)Segment development (areas of education and / or selection of admitted students / Development of services for departure mobility and reintegration on return. (Risk: increased inequalities between universities)Scenario 3: less competition, more cooperation. Example of the Bologna Process (Risks - found - National differences and the HE market)

ODUCAL, FIUC : which scenario do we prefer ?

DEVELOPMENT OF A RANKING REFERENCE SYSTEM

FOR UNIVERSITY SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (USR)

IFCU is working on a unique catholic university ranking system

on an international scale, inspired on Catholic values and

principles, in order to contribute to the positioning of Catholic

universities as responsible communal and social actors within

their societies.

• Offer a panorama of Catholic university policies & practices and their positioning with regardto others;

• Design common guidelines for universities self-assessment of SRU coherent with their Catholiccharacter;

• Encourage Catholic universities to improve both their policies and practices in USR;

• Provide today’s students a socially-engaged environment that will contribute to making themtomorrow’s responsible professionals, citizens and spiritual beings;

• Help Catholic universities strengthen their influence on the national, regional and internationaltertiary landscape, including within international organizations;

• Offer a viable alternative for the university world in general that takes into account differentsocial and cultural walks of life.

PROJECT OBJECTIVESSOCIETY

UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY

A set of criteria have been established by IFCU during the 1st phase of the project.

Despite transversal elements related to each university’s identity and profile in order toestablish the context prior to the evaluation (Catholic identity, size, history, etc.), theframework focuses on 3 main areas:

• Environment

• Social

• Gouvernance

Practices in favor of a socially responsible university should be promoted and encouraged by the entire university community.

A FRAMEWORK FOR SRU

International networks - Advocacy

UNESCO

ECOSOC

OECD

OSCE

Council of Europe

Connected with the Holy See, with NGOs, with Think Tanks

Laudato Si Endowment Fund

• It allocates the income of its endowment to the financing of academic and social projects, service learning activities, presented by the institutions and universities, members of the IFCU.

• When appropriate, projects submitted by non-IFCU institutions may, given their interest, be partially supported by the Endowment Fund.

• Projects with international dimension are welcome

IFCU COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM

IFCU COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM

22

“IFCU is developing a global data base of Catholic Universities, as well as a collaborative platform to facilitate Catholic Universities to establish direct contact for collaborative projects that they wish to put in place.”

The project aims to fill a major gap that affects the legitimacy of the IFCU, the knowledge of Catholic Universities, and their visibility at the global level.

The project shall create:

a/ a global database of Catholic Universities;

b/a collaborative platform, moderated by IFCU, allowing Catholic Universities, from the database developed, to submit and share their demands for collaboration.

23

> IFCU:

● Unique tool for building and administering a repository of information about

Catholic universities around the world

● Provide access to updated information and data on a dedicated portal, integrating

a tool for linking institutions, with « a minima » 2 levels of access (members / non-

members)

> IFCU MEMBERS AND PARTNERS:

● Access updated information/data with Search Engine / Mapping

● To be able to update them directly from the portal (with IFCU administration,

moderation and validation)

● To be able to propose collaborative calls / institutional partnerships / Other

cooperative actions / Ressources

CONCLUSION

Main Purpose: internationalization for developing cultural abilities in order to be better prepared to live and work in a globalized world :

Concept of "global citizen": future social responsibility of students, reflective analysis about their own culture, openness to interculturality
