The quality dimension in internationalization in higher education institutions plays an increasingly important role. Moving towards deeper cooperation with international partners is the goal of many universities. However, in practice, IROs remain in business as usuall focusing on quantity over quality. The adaptation of quality assurance start to be one of the biggest challenges in internationalization nowadays. MENDELU was part of the Monitoring Internationalization of Czech Higher Education and the results helped it to adjust its practice in the field of internationalization. During the workshop, one of the MICHE evaluators Daniel Casten will present general recommendations that could also work at MENDELU partner universities. We will also shere with partners some of our progress in this area, especially with Louisiana State University.

 Special guests: Mgr. Lukáš Kala (MENDELU), Ivana Tregenza (LSU), Sarah Bernard (LSU) and Daniel Casten (MICHE)

The aim of the Strategic Partnerships projects under the Erasmus+ scheme is to develop new partnerships among European universities and foster the current ones. We will share our experience from two successful projects: European Network for Academic Integrity, which was successfully finished in 2019, and „Bridging Integrity in Higher Education, Business and Society.“ The participants of the workshop will be encouraged to share their experience as well to create a constructive discussion in which we can learn from each other.

Special guests: Mgr. Tomáš Foltýnek, Ph.D. (MENDELU) and Ing. Dita Henek Dlabolová, Ph.D. (MENDELU) 

The aim of this initiative is to bring together a new generation of creative Europeans able to cooperate across languages, borders and disciplines to address societal challenges and skills shortages faced in Europe.
European Universities are transnational alliances that will become the universities of the future, promoting European values and identity, and revolutionising the quality and competitiveness of European higher education. In order to achieve this major step forward, the Commission is testing different cooperation models for European Universities with two calls for proposals under the Erasmus+ programme.

MENDELU is welcoming hundreds of students yearly and similar number of students from MENDELU spent their semester abroad. Pandemic reduced the numbers but not significantly, but it has definitely changed quality of student life. In what way and how students cope with the new situation will be part of the combined presentation and discussion with speakers from International Relations Offices and Institute of Life Long Learning.
