  • Join the UNICA-IAU Masterclass on Internationalization!

    IAU is pleased to launch its first joint master class together with the Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe (UNICA) on internationalization of Higher Education.

    What does it mean to be a Vice-Rector for Internationalization in today’s moving world?

This requires the full engagement of the academic leadership as it is gaining increasing relevance in the strategic decision-making process.
