2022-04-19

1st International Conference on Innovation in Higher Education in Dynamic Asia (1st IHEDA)
Theme: Internationalization of Higher Education in Dynamic Asia

Hanoi, 2nd – 3rd December 2022

CALL FOR PAPERS

In the recent decades, we have witnessed a growing trend of internationalization of higher education (IoHE) across the world. In Asia, in particular, the IoHE is in line with the growing dynamic of the socio-economy of the region. IoHE in Asia might be observed from different levels (i.e., regional, national, local and institutional) and different aspects (i.e., curriculum, teaching and learning, student and/or faculty mobilities, research, ranking). IoHE, indeed, has stemmed from various motivations from different actors, including policy makers, institutional leaders, academics and practitioners, students, parents, industry partners and communities. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, IoHE in Asian countries was often regarded as less developed than their counterparts from the Western world. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 outbreak has opened opportunities for Asian countries and institutions to explore and introduce innovative internationalised and transnational programs, capitalizing on digital technologies, new models of international collaborations and changing demands for international education in Asia. In addition, IoHE has become more vulnerable to not only bi-lateral collaborations but also regional and global shifts in international relations and geopolitical tensions. Taking into account these contextual factors, we are delighted to welcome you to the “Internationalization of Higher Education in Dynamic Asia” (IoHE-DA) Conference. The conference is co-sponsored by Stars Scholar, a society for transnational academic researchers, and takes place both in-person and virtually. It provides a forum to discuss critical issues, new developments and emerging trends and models in IoHE in Asia.
