Multiple Competitions and Social Values as Facilitators of Virtual Internationalization – Evidence from German Higher Education. Berg, J., & Ferreira Santos, L. (2024, Mai). Multiple Competitions and Social Values as Facilitators of Virtual Internationalization – Evidence from German Higher Education. Vortrag auf der Konferenz European Network on International Student Mobility: Connecting Research and Practice, Business & Technology University, Tbilisi, Georgia.
Abstract
Our presentation combines the findings of a content analysis of expert interviews with heads of international offices with the result of a document analysis of internationalization and digitalization strategies of German higher education institutions. We address two main questions: First, what are the main objectives of virtualizing higher education internationalization? And second, how can those objectives be linked to multiple factors that shape actions, strategies and outcomes of higher education governance? We focus mainly on competition and values-based governance. Both aspects are connected to expectations and practical challenges for the management of internationalization of higher education.

Why digitalize? An Investigation of Virtual Internationalization Governance in German Higher Education, based on peer-reviewed paper submission (Berg, J. & Ferreira Santos, L.). Berg, J., & Ferreira Santos, L. (2024, März). Why digitalize? An Investigation of Virtual Internationalization Governance in German Higher Education, based on peer-reviewed paper submission (Berg, J. & Ferreira Santos, L.). Vortrag auf der Konferenz Future of Higher Education - Bologna Process Researchers' Conference (FOHE-BPRC5) - Session 4: Digitalization and the future of European Higher Education: Implications for public policies, The Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation Funding (UEFISCDI), in partnership with the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA) and University of Bucharest (UB), Bucharest , Romania.
Abstract
Based on a multimodal understanding of governance in German higher education, we aim to investigate the multiple objectives and factors that shape the digitalization of higher education internationalization. We find that while values-based and competition-related approaches often motivate higher education institutions to embrace digitalization; the implementation is rather shaped by hierarchy and collegial governance factors. We suggest understanding digitalization as a comprehensive approach intertwined with all levels and modes of governance in higher education.

Internationalization in the Digital Transformation: A scoping review. Ferreira Santos, L., & Vögtle, E. M. (2023, Februar). Internationalization in the Digital Transformation: A scoping review. Vortrag in der DAAD Wissenschaftswerkstatt, DAAD, Bonn.
Abstract
Das Scoping Reviews, das im Rahmen des Projekts Internationalization in the Digital Transformation - INDISTRA durchgeführt wurde, analysiert 45 wissenschaftliche Zeitschriftenartikel, die zwischen Juni 2017 und Juni 2022 in englischer Sprache veröffentlicht wurden. Die Studie stützt sich auf die internationale wissenschaftliche Literatur, um die verfügbare Evidenz zu den Überschneidungen zwischen der covid-getriebenen Digitalisierung und ihrer systematischen Integration in die Internationalisierungsstrategien von Hochschulen zu erfassen. Der Fokus des Scoping Reviews liegt auf Lehre und Lernen, Kooperation, Verwaltung und Entscheidungsprozessen.

International Academic Partnerships (IAP) and the impact of digitalization in the establishment of joint programs between German and Brazilian institutions of higher education. Ferreira Santos, L. (2022, September). International Academic Partnerships (IAP) and the impact of digitalization in the establishment of joint programs between German and Brazilian institutions of higher education. Vortrag auf dem Seminar 7th HERSS Summer School "Transformation of Higher Education", zhb Center for Higher Education, TU Dortmund, Dortmund.
Abstract
In the field of internationalization of higher education, the establishment of joint programs is described as 'particularly problematic', due to the strong coordination efforts required. Yet, in a context of growing internationalization and digitalization, the online delivery of such programs is 'not only possible but desirable' (Joughin et al., 2022, p.829). At the HERSS Summer School, I discussed the prospects of investigating the setting up and implementation of digitally assisted-joint programs between German and Brazilian universities as the thematic focus of my Ph.D. research.

The INDISTRA project in the light of the new geopolitics of higher education. Ferreira Santos, L. (2022, Juni). The INDISTRA project in the light of the new geopolitics of higher education. Vortrag im Rahmen des Workshops by Katja Brøgger, Associate Professor, Danish School of Education, auf dem Seminar The New Geopolitics of Higher Education, Aarhus University, Denmark.
Abstract
Das Aufleben von Antiglobalisierungsbewegungen hat enorme Auswirkungen sowohl auf Gesellschaften als auch auf Hochschulen (Brøgger, 2021; Brooks, 2022; Habib, 2022; van der Vende, 2021). Da die Zukunft der Internalisierung der Hochschulbildung stark von der Art und Weise abhängt, wie sich grenzüberschreitender Austausch entwickeln wird (Lee, 2021), zielte die Teilnahme am Kurs The New Geopolitics of Higher Education darauf ab, die Forschungsfragen, die das INDISTRA-Projekt leiten, im Lichte der aktuellen geopolitischen Debatten zu reflektieren; insbesondere wie das Aufkommen von Neonationalismen neue Diskurse und Praktiken in der Hochschulbildung prägt.
