Project Summary

The WILLIAM initiative stems from the necessity of cover an important aspect of internationalization in Israeli higher education system that has not been tackled adequately until now – Internationalisation at Home (IaH). Within EU funded projects, internationalization at large has been covered by different projects (eg. corinthiam, IN2IT etc) embracing European concepts like Bologna system, ECTS, internationalization of curriculum and cross-cultural issues within a multi-diversity paradigm. Though IaH is a relatively recent concept, it has already been embraced widely, particularly in northern and western Europe. IaH aims to bring internationalisation to all students through the home curriculum. It is therefore primarily about teaching and learning, which implies that lecturers are increasingly becoming prominent players in internationalisation. After all, they are the ones who create learning environments with international and intercultural dimensions. The project thus attempts to develop individual strategic roadmaps for IaH in 7 Israeli HEIS after exploring the different European models available for IaH. A common terminology around the concept of IaH will be needed as well.As a way to reinforce IaH strategies partners will establish specific guidelines and protocols for foreign student services – including those related to safety and security for instance. Other mechanisms like social integration schemes will be developed as well. A particular activity to enhance IaH will be the organisation and delivery of virtual international classroom in selected faculties at each Israeli partner HEI.The project will reinforce the development of a strategic framework for HE and IaH specificially and the enhancement of structured regulations and procedures that facilitate incoming exchange mobilities, creation of support schemes for foreign students coming to Israel and complementing other measures that have been previously put in place through other CBHE projects.
