The end of internationality as we know it: has Covid thwarted universities’ global ambitions, or paved new roads to international collaboration?
Session Overview
This video was part of the July 2020 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
How can universities redefine the concept of internationality? How will global mobility change? How can universities prepare themselves to not lose the international students they have been serving until now? What shape will transnational collaboration take and what will be the main ingredients of the global footprint of a university?
