Conference on "Internationalizing Higher Education Institutions"

 

A conference on "Internationalization of Higher Education Institutions" organized by Erasmus+ Israel, was held on June 14th-15th, 2017. The first day of the conference was dedicated to the development of an institutional strategy for internationalization and hosted Mr. Hans-Georg van Liempd from the European Association for International Education (EAIE).

 

 Internationalization of HEIs in Israel is not only the focus of Erasmus+ but also of the new multi-year plan of the CHE and therefore the first day of the conference provided participants with practical tools and knowledge to successfully implement international activities in the framework of Erasmus+ and beyond.
