Panel session
'Internationalise yourself!' is more than a motto – it’s our challenge. We aim to provide the perfect environment for our students, faculty, and staff to discover their unique paths to gaining international and intercultural experience. In this interactive session, learn about FH JOANNEUM University of Applied Sciences' journey to internationalisation. Discover their innovative approaches to creating a globally connected and inclusive academic environment that fosters curiosity, creativity and open-mindedness. While mobility is an essential aspect, it's just the beginning! Explore how to broaden your focus beyond mobility, offering various alternative pathways. We will also discuss initiatives to support and integrate refugees, and how targeted efforts like intercultural events and social engagement add value for students, the university, and the local community. Learn how to inspire and support students, faculty, and staff to internationalize in diverse ways, sharing examples of best practices. Remember, no step is too small – often, a little goes a long way! And of course, we must lead by example – enthusiasm and passion for international experiences are highly infectious!
