Innovation through internationalisation
 How international cooperation and mobility foster innovation in higher education

ACA, Movetia and swissuniversities have the pleasure to announce the exciting conference Innovation through internationalisation - How international cooperation and mobility foster innovation in higher education. This hybrid conference focuses on two main themes: internationalisation and innovation. It will identify ways in which internationalisation - through mobility, but also other international activity forms - can boost institutional innovation, and it will explore the role of international partnerships and collaborative projects in advancing institutional innovation agendas.

Being very keen to see many of you again offline, we had embarked on an innovative approach to internationalisation in Covid-19 times. We had the ambition to hold the 22 April 2021 conference in a face-to-face format in Zürich. Nature though, planned otherwise. As we prioritise your safety, we are sorry to have to announce the re-postponement of our event to 4 November 2021, otherwise-said exactly 1 year later than the original date.

This hybrid event will take place in Zürich and online on 4 November 2021. Registration is now open! Secure your spot today; participation is limited. Registration will close on the 27th of October.
