New European Commission Strategy: European Higher Education in the World

In an effort to bolster Europe’s position in international higher education, the European Commission has released a new strategy for the internationalization of higher education. The strategy aims to contribute to the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, by helping Member States and higher education institutions develop strategic partnerships that will allow Europe to tackle global challenges more effectively. The report, European Higher Education in the World, promises stronger policy support and financial incentives, and calls on countries to use immigration rules to enhance rather than create obstacles to mobility.
