Designing institutional internationalisation policies and strategies

This article focuses on the fundamental considerations required prior to the development of policies and strategies for internationalisation. The primary target group is educational institutions with little or no international experience. However, more experienced institutions may also benefit from the article. The article starts by presenting a number of global trends that determine the overall approach to the design of institutional policies and strategies for internationalisation. The subsequent sections present the response of Aarhus University to the main rationales at a national, local and institutional level.
