The big issues • Major shifts in the geopolitics of international Higher Education • The threat to the classical public Humboldt type research- intensive university by under-investment and over-regulation • Huge investments in HE and Research in China and Asia • Research universities to generate growth in national knowledge-based economies • The heightened link between science, technology and securitization • Increased competition for high quality human capital on an intensively competitive global job market
Rationales for internationalization at a Research intensive University • Tap a worldwide pool of talent • Improve academic quality and enhance global reputation • Match government policies (attract knowledge workers) • Prepare students for a globalized, intercultural world • Strengthen knowledge capacity building – working with developing countries/Emergent Markets • Diversity in source of income
Trends and Challenges in Denmark 2012 • Talents attraction and Retention in DKCollaboration with Business/industry”Compulsary Danish Courses” Minister of HE • Danish Tuition ”no Way!”, but stipends for going abroad • Barrieres for outgoing students”Compulsary Mobility Window” – Minister of HE • Balanced exchanges - University Act 2005/2011 • Taught in English – Parallel Language Policy • Emergent Markets - BRICS+ 11
Nature of universities • • Conservative/ radical • • Critical / supportive • • Competitive / collegial • • Autonomous / accountable • • Private / public • • Excellent / equal • • Entrepreneurial / caring • • Certain / provisional • • Traditional / innovative • • Ceremonial / iconoclastic • • Local / international • • Collegiums / Corporations • • Static / strategic Values and the University, Professor Sir David Watson Institute of Education, University of London, 2006
In search of an Institutional Internationalization Strategy • GOAL • Recruit international talent at all levels from BA-students to postdocs and full professors • Provide students and scholars with international competence – a driver´s licence to the global job market • Be influencial in shaping the global development within research and Higher ed. • IMPLEMENTATION • Mobility of staff, students and Scholars • Internationalize Education (English taught courses, dual programmes) and research through international partners • Establish strategic Star Alliances • Brand your institution globally (ranking)
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
