Nachrichten, Termine, Experten
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?
