NUAS CONFERENCE ON RESPONSIBLE INTERNATIONALISATION 2023
Turku, Finland
27. – 29. november 2023
NUAS Nordic dialogue on responsible university internationalisation in a changing world continues in a conference in Turku, Finland in November 27-29, 2023.
In recent years, international academic cooperation has become increasingly dependent on political, economic, and social contexts. This reinforces concerns for academic cooperation with higher education institutions as well as in talent recruitment and admissions. How are we fairing in the Nordic universities in terms of academic freedom, corruption, legislation, and political systems combined with digital development?
Welcome to the NUAS bench learning conference to discuss the current trends and learn more on the current topics in the field of responsible internationalisation from different perspectives.
Organising committee:
The conference is arranged by two NUAS working groups: Internationalisation and International Admission and Recognition of Qualifications.
