\u201cRethinking comprehensive internationalization for a global generation.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Prevalent topics of discussion included geopolitical tensions, particularly between the USA and China, the effect of the new coronavirus on international mobility, and the academic sector\u2019s efforts to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\nGlobal conditions clearly affect the strategic internationalisation efforts of higher education institutions (HEIs). Various political areas, such as trade, national security, global health, science and education now intersect in a completely different manner than before, and this change has taken place during a short period. The academic sector\u2019s approach to such changed conditions is still uncertain and under development. At the same time, different social stakeholders exert greater influence. This is both positive and challenging. On the one hand, it is good that stakeholders that have not traditionally been in active dialogue with HEIs now contribute their views and add another dimension to HEIs\u2019 embeddedness in their communities. On the other hand, the academic freedom and institutional autonomy of HEIs must be protected. Achieving this balance is not that easy, as was clear from the discussions in which STINT participated during the conference.<\/p>\n
The topic of STINT\u2019s panel session with Andreas G\u00f6thenberg<\/strong>, Tommy Shih<\/strong>, Sylvia Schwaag Serger<\/strong> and Jason E. Lane<\/strong> was international research collaborations in an increasingly complex world and responsible internationalisation. Tommy Shih presented the document on responsible internationalisation, developed by STINT together with Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Lund University, and how it can be used. The panel further discussed how academic actors could approach internationalisation more responsibly to handle the current variety of aims and circumstances. The subsequent question session and discussion agreed that, given present conditions, the academy must take more responsibility and be more proactive in its internationalisation efforts. Overall, the audience had positive feedback on the document on responsible internationalisation that was drawn up to support strategic planning and encourage HEIs and researchers to reflect on internationalisation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
