Does your higher education institution dare to define areas of strategic importance for its internationalisation, like Europe or Asia? Whether you value or oppose these, this poster provides the advantages and disadvantages of setting focus regions in Europe and beyond. It also offers insights on how to implement a geographic strategy. The insights draw on my PhD research based on Dutch and German case study universities.
