Advancing Internationalization through an International Network: A Case Study of a European Institution
Pushpa Asia Neupane
Tertiary Education and Management, v29 n3 p279-293 2023
Internationalization in higher education is of growing importance as institutions respond to globalization trends. Cross-border partnerships between institutions have existed for many years, but the number of networks with multiple institutions to further information exchange and build on resources have been increasing more recently. This case study examined one European institution and how it used and was involved in an international network. The research question guiding this study was: How do higher education administrators in a European institution successfully implement internationalization through an international network? Three key themes emerged from the data collected as related to how the institution is successful, the institution: (i) prioritizes the network; (ii) adapts to the network challenges; and (iii) establishes partnerships beyond the network. The findings from the study led to three recommendations for institutional practice: (i) develop a communication plan, including a mission statement; (ii) empower the secretariat to be the key facilitator; and (iii) encourage individualized strategies for each institution. Overall, this case study will help higher education administrators plan for best practices related to using networks to amplify internationalization strategies in their institutions.
