Measuring Internationalisation

A New Approach for Benchmarking Within the Coimbra Group Network of European Universities

This article presents a new approach for measuring internationalisation that has been used by the Coimbra network of European universities for benchmarking purposes. Existing measures of internationalisation focus on structural/demographic-type criteria, such as the proportion of international students and international staff. Yet such measures do not capture the extent to which the diverse university population are integrated into a community, nor the benefits that such integration can bring. We report on the use of an innovative new tool that was recently made available to the sector to capture such experiences and benefits.
