Ghent University Staff Week, Belgium

At present we live in disruptive times; change and persistent growth affect societies all over the world creating complex challenges. It would be naïve to think that international education isn't influenced by these challenges. Even more, internationalisation often plays a pivotal role in certain major challenges, issues or trends. In times of global engagement being increasingly challenged by zero-sum approaches to internationalization we can't only focus on the positive effects of our work, but also need to be aware of the potential negative impact of internationalisation and accordingly.

This staff week is conceived of as a fact finding mission for all participants. By bringing together external experts and university staff members with expertise in different areas we want to facilitate the exchange of insights, policies, initiatives and best practices regarding the impact of international education on contemporary societal issues. Through the exchange of ideas participants should learn how to look beyond traditional geopolitics to engage creatively with the emergent landscape.
