Keypoints

A dialogue about the possibilities of international cooperation that started with the experience of Argentina in the internationalization process followed by the experience of the IAU. 

  • Higher education is a human right; internationalization must guarantee equitable and inclusive quality for education. The 2030 agenda plays a critical role in shaping alliances to achieve the SDG’s. 
  • Internationalization must be supportive, respecting cultural diversity and the ability to live together and to work in a local and global community.
  • The need for academic networks and joint projects that encourage academic mobility and degree recognition is also essential.  
  • Internationalization needs to be seen according to the mission and visions of organizations. Research and education need to be together as part of internationalization.
  • Now research is not seen from an institutional perspective, driven by researchers and excellence (top-level, excluding different parts of the world, and limiting south-south cooperation).  
  • We need to stop seeing Internationalization as a commercial income; the purpose should be intercultural understanding and disciplinary broadness and understanding instead of commoditization.  
  • Challenges of internationalization differ in different regions, but collaboration is the way to share and learn experiences; the government needs to also invest in internationalization.
