5th ANIE Annual Conference on Internationalization in Africa

There is no question that the internationalization of higher education has transformed the higher education landscape in the last three decades. The more globalized and inter-connected world in which we live has stimulated higher education institutions, organizations and national governments to pay more attention to academic relations and opportunities with partners in other countries close by and far away. A more recent development has been an increased focus on higher education collaboration and exchange within a region.

The conference, organized by the African Network for the Internationalization of Education (ANIE), will discuss the new initiatives and impact of recent developments related to quality assurance frameworks, recognition of qualifications, student and scholar mobility, joint academic programs, learning outcomes, academic credit system, regional research networks and centres, among others. A diversity of African higher education actors need to be involved and supported by an explicit political will to support higher education regionalization and its contribution to Africa’s development and its role in the world. The 5th ANIE conference aims to bring academics, policy makers, researchers, analysts, senior education leaders from all over Africa to advance the regionalization and internationalization agendas in Africa.
