https://lnkd.in/g5bn5hSb We have hosted a faculty/SIO from University of Hawaii at Hilo with us for a month in March. It was wonderful "Blended Mobility" for staff(!) -- learned a lot from Todd Shumway on US Education system. Thank you (a big mahalo) for choosing Kansai University! It is considered a part of our new initiative JIGE (Japan hub for Innovative Global Education) 2023-2028. For those from our partner universities, if you are thinking of doing a short staff stay with us, on sabbatical or JSPS, or other resources available out there, we will be happy to consider hosting. International Education 2.0 (Shall we say Education 4.0) needs lots of capacity building among the teachers and staff-- why do something new and stick to it, if you are not quite sure what it is for? They need to know and believe that it is something worth paying effort for. "Why" + "How" and "What" -- golden combination of all three pieces are in need, none of them should be missed out. Staff exchange and faculty communication are great ways to do so; internationalization is not just with students. #IIGE #internationaleducation #COIL #JIGE

As a student who applied for the same bachelor's degree (International Relations- European Studies) at Rīga Stradiņš University after 4 years I am willing to share some valuable insights: • The program of studies is still relevant and thankfully to involved professionals from university, students can get knowledge which is based on up to date materials; • Unexpected novelty as the merging of multiple faculties of social sciences into one was a surprise for me, I have a feeling that program has lost the touch of individuality, but instead as a students we got experience to study alongside representatives of different majors; • E-studies (RSU intranet) was redesigned successfully, it is easier now than ever to find specific functions and interact with them; • 3/4 of the studies are hold outside of the main RSU building, which is good for 1st year students (it is not so easy to get lost in blocks and stairs anymore), but on the other hand I find main building more aspiring. Overall, I am happy to be back and I hope that mentioned points will encourage someone to enroll back at University, if you happen to have similar choice in your life. #InternationalRelations #SZF #RSU

"It's great that I can compare our performance with other New Zealand universities, and also universities in the southern hemisphere as well as globally, helping to see how we're performing with institutions we consider as peers." We spoke with Jason Cushen, Director, Te Whirika (International), Division of External Engagement at University of Otago, to understand how participation in the International Student Barometer is informing plans and decision making as the university seeks to grow their international student population. Read on and get in touch before the May 6th deadline to participate in the next Student Barometer. ➡ https://bit.ly/3WhQ6xJ #ISB

On 16 May, the 4th Meeting of Portuguese Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within European University Alliances took place at the Lusófona University (Lisbon, Portugal). These institutions recently formalised the creation of FOR.UE.PT, is a forum aimed at facilitating a coordinated response to common challenges, promoting mobility, and ensuring sustainable funding. Additionally, it will serve as a platform for sharing best practices and fostering deeper cooperation among national institutions. The Lusófona University, coordinator of the FilmEU European University and the ÉTIKETA pilot project—which aimed to address the challenge proposed by the European Commission for the preliminary study on the future of European joint degrees—organised this meeting to enhance the discussion around the recently announced European Higher Education Package for 2024. #Europeanniversities #EuropeanCommission #JointDegrees
