THEME: MOBILITY IN THE BALANCE
While the COVID-19 pandemic has in many ways left the world of physical mobility in suspended animation, new opportunities have emerged and may well be leading to a paradigm shift in approaches to internationalisation. The Summer 2021 issue of Forum takes a fresh look at the mobility of staff and students, exploring whether alternatives to physical mobility are now gaining new ground, and what this might mean for the status of physical mobility.
