ENIS - Webinar on International Student Mobility in Higher Education2 October 2024Join us for the next webinar organised by Working Group 5 of the ENIS COST Action (European Network on International Student Mobility), in partnership with the Research with International Students community. This session will be moderated by Cosmin Nada (education researcher and consultant, ENIS WG5 co-leader), and will delve into a longstanding yet persistent issue in the field of international student mobility: the lack of meaningful interaction between local and international students. This issue is extremely relevant since it can jeopardise the potential benefits of higher education internationalisation and international student mobility, which are known for improving cultural understanding, intercultural competences and enhancing mutual learning.
Despite years of research and efforts to address this problem, recent studies continue to show that insufficient interaction or even segregation continue to divide these groups, be it inside or outside the classroom and the campus.
In this webinar, key experts in the field of international student mobility, namely Alina Schartner (Newcastle University) and Kazuhiro Kudo (Dokkyo University) will present the available evidence on this issue and identify key factors and potential solutions.
Alejandra Vicencio (Northumbria University) will provide her perspective as a higher education practitioner concerned with this issue, sharing practical examples from her institution and highlighting steps taken to promote more meaningful student interaction.
This webinar is designed to stimulate thinking among international student mobility researchers and higher education practitioners, offering them concrete ideas for addressing this ongoing challenge.Registration : Make sure you save your spot by registering for the Webinar here

University of Porto and Middle East Technical University Research Collaboration - Survey1 October 2024Two researchers from the University of Porto: Cosmin Nada and Taísa Oliveira, in collaboration with Merve Zayim-Kurtay, a researcher from Middle East Technical University, are carrying out a study on inequalities in knowledge production. They aim to understand why some researchers encounter obstacles in having their knowledge validated and published and why alternative methods of knowledge production may be marginalized.
To ensure the study reflects a diverse range of experiences, they are inviting researchers from around the world to participate in a brief survey. Your insights will be invaluable in helping them understand the barriers and biases within the global research landscape.
The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. We encourage you to contribute to this study by following the link: https://anket.metu.edu.tr/index.php/264469?lang=en
