A rising tide against internationalisation: Go with the flow or swim against the current?

After the pandemic and the ensuing surge in demand for both in-person and virtual collaboration in international education, we are now faced with the next challenge. A wave of across-the-board budget cuts and staff cutbacks is coming our way. Is the tide rising against the growth of internationalisation and its outreach within our institutions? This session will look at what we can do in practical terms to swim against strong currents and garner the support of key decision-makers.
