Internationalisation is easy to champion when grants are available. Many institutions have built their internationalisation ambitions on programmes such as Erasmus+. But what if that funding suddenly vanished? Would internationalisation remain a strategic priority? Which partnerships would survive? Which mobility opportunities would you still be willing to fund yourself? And perhaps the more uncomfortable question: if the money comes back, would you simply carry on as before? Or would years of uncertainty force you to rethink what internationalisation is really worth to your institution? Join this conversation on strategy, resilience and difficult choices in a future where internationalisation funding can no longer be taken for granted.
