The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have highlighted aspects of higher education mobility management that have lain dormant for a while now: the personal safety of travellers and the duty of care at institutions sending students and staff abroad. Through a mini-crisis response exercise using real-world examples, this session aims to fathom out how we should tackle such crises, what the risks involved are and who needs to be on board.
