There are many ways to go about being an active participant in international research, innovation and higher education.

In this session we will hear from active internationalists about their experiences, about good practices, as well as obstacles they might have met.

We will also discuss how new challenges and world developments might require new or different approaches toward international knowledge cooperation.
