IMPORTANCE OF INTERNATIONALISATION
Internationalisation is very important for any HEI
As HEInnovate says:
It was “identified as one of the characteristics of an “entrepreneurial higher education institution”.
And “It is not possible for a higher education institution to be entrepreneurial without being international, but the HEI can be international without being entrepreneurial, innovative” (HEInnovate).
https://heinnovate.eu/
Self assessment tool created by the European Commission and the OECD. It facilitates the assessment of an HEI in a systematic way, opening up discussion and debate on the entrepreneurial and innovative
nature of higher education institutions.ANABELA MESQUITA 5

Possible solution – international networks due to its advantages
There are several solutions / networks adapted to the needs of each HEI. Usually it isadvisable to belong to more than one network since they may be specific
Example of SPACE network
