The discussions with the international experts will address the following topics and questions:
1) Rationale, Drivers and Stakeholders:
• Why do HE institutions engage in transnational education provision, open branch campuses or get involved in „foreign-backed universities“?
• Which national (or regional, e.g. European) or educational policies or strategies play a role?
• To what extent do political, economic or social factors in target countries influence the development of TNE projects? Are development aid and capacity building relevant drivers?
• How do tax-funded HE institutions legitimize their investment in TNE projects?
• Are there other stakeholders (public or private), supporting the development of TNE?
2) Models, Forms and Modes of Delivery:
• What types of providers & partnerships?
• What modes of delivery have emerged?
• What works, what doesn't?
• How are projects developed (top-down, bottom-up, third-party sponsoring etc.)?
• Different countries – different models?
• What types of business models are being pursued in your institution (country)?
• Which funding programs or scholarships are available ?
3) Challenges, Trends and Outlook:
• What are the main challenges?
• Codes of conduct?
• How can the quality of TNE delivery in Higher Education be assured ?
• What are the foreseeable big new trends?
• How does TNE fit into your internationalisation strategy? What is your institutional (national?) vision for 2020?

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
