In “Facilitating International Collaboration,” Randall Reinhard from the University of Edinburgh will present the TICKET project, its outputs, and the TICKET handbook for policy makers. In an online discussion with American researcher Dr. Darla Deardorff, who has worked as a trainer and author in the field of intercultural education for twenty years and who will also be participating in the event, Reinhard will examine the current challenges presented by internationalization and more diversity in teaching and the workplace. Heleen Straesser from the Universiteit van Amsterdam will hold a talk about how her university works with international students. Sammy Li, assistant director of Student Affairs at the University of Birmingham, will address the question of how to create an inclusive environment at universities. The event will be concluded by a panel discussion in which participants will discuss how higher education institutions can promote and expand international collaboration efforts.

The TICKET project comprises a consortium of seven universities: Universiteit van Amsterdam, Freie Universität Berlin, Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, the University of Edinburgh, KU Leuven, Universidad de Granada, and Jagiellonian University Krakow.

Erasmus+ is a program funded by the European Union with the aim of promoting mobility within Europe and around the world. The program offers university members the opportunity to study or train abroad, or to complete an internship in another country.
