Equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives have been called into question in many countries, yet universities are still running programmes to support their LGBTQIA+ students who are participating in international education. This session will give a brief overview of national LGBTQIA+ policies and then describe best practices in supporting these students at institutions in Japan, Poland, the US and Germany. New ideas will be shared and cultivated, also in relation to internationalisation.
