Innovations in Internationalisation at Home Forum: Measuring Impact #IIH2024
Overview
Based on the success of our previous Innovations in Internationalisation at Home conferences and growing sector-wide interest in this important area, we are delighted to announce the IIH2024 Forum, which will take place on Monday 10 June, at Woburn House, London.
IIH2024 offers a unique opportunity to learn from experts in the field and discuss ongoing investment and innovation in the internationalised student experience. It aims to provide a cross-sector platform that will be equally valuable to colleagues in a broad range of professional services and academic roles, and in a manner which is reflective of the broad range of opportunities and initiatives which Internationalisation at Home encompasses.

Curriculum internationalisation is a topic of growing global academic importance, as universities expand and recruit staff and students from beyond national borders and seek to make relevant impact through teaching, innovation and engagement.
On 5 April 2019, more than 60 colleagues from across the sector joined us for a one-day conference, at the University of Kent, to share good practice in the fields of internationalisation at home and internationalisation of the Curriculum.
