The European Association for International Education (EAIE) published this year the third edition of the EAIE Barometer. Representatives from Switzerland also took part in the evaluation. Here's a closer look at the key areas.
Lecturers exchange views on current educational topics and promote the international transfer of knowledge. This counteracts the declining mobility of lecturers. This is made possible by a further education module organised by the University of Geneva and Movetia.
Major differences in mobility opportunities for Swiss students
Only one in nine higher education institutions meets Switzerland's international and national mobility targets. The institutional framework plays a significant role in students’ decisions about mobility. This is one of the conclusions reached by Switzerland’s first internationalisation index, published by the national agency Movetia.
Internationale Mobilität an Höheren Fachschulen? Das geht!
Das Schweizer Mobilitätsprogramm trägt wesentlich zur Internationalisierung der Schweizer Bildungsinstitutionen auf Tertiärstufe bei. Höhere Fachschulen, die bereits teilnehmen, berichten über die grössten Vorteile und wie man mögliche Hürden überwindet.
There is no innovation without internationalisation
The «Innovation throught Internationalisation» conference took place on 4th of November. More than one hundred international and multilingual guests took part in the event. They learned from Swiss and European speakers how internationalisation and innovation influence each other.
We are supporting two teams working on the development of innovative projects for international students in Switzerland. One uses artificial intelligence and the other the principle of gamification to offer new means of communication.
First training module launched for university staff
SUCTI stands for «Systemic University Change Towards Internationalisation» and aims to strengthen the internationalisation of Swiss university staff. The first training course took place at the end of June 2021 with 17 participants. The guests were provided with knowledge about the internationalisation process.
Swissnex provides added value to the Swiss scientific world
Swissnex is highly relevant for the internationalisation of Swiss players in the fields of education, research and innovation. It establishes contacts between local and Swiss institutions at 5 locations worldwide and thus represents an important link for exchange activities.
