Internationalisation in Europe

The EAIE Barometer: Internationalisation in Europe (first edition) focuses on the state of internationalisation of higher education in Europe. Based on a survey of over 2400 practitioners across the European Higher Education Area, this report analyses key developments and challenges, as well as the skill requirements and specific needs of staff involved in internationalisation. This publication includes data on internationalisation trends at the international, national and institutional levels, including the most prevalent rationales for internationalisation, elements common among leading international institutions, and professional challenges staff face in implementing internationalisation.
