Internationalisation Webinar Series

The internationalisation webinar series has been running since 2007 as part of an initiative organised
by Dr Joanna Al-Youssef (University of Nottingham). It is an open event during which participants
address a particular aspect related to the internationalisation of higher education.

The theme of this year’s webinar, taking place on Wednesday 4th September, is ‘What does an
internationalised curriculum look like?” with particular focus on initiatives and projects that aim to
internationalise the curriculum in higher education contexts.

This free event is supported by the British Educational Research Association’s (BERA) Special Interest
Group ‘Comparative and International Education’ convened by Dr Nicola Savvides (University of Bath)
and Dr Pinky Jain (University of Worcester). Dr Joanna Al-Youssef will be hosting the webinar.
