Conclusions
Quality of education & globally prepared students top reasons to internationalise
SE HEIs focus on outgoing students & int’l service quality; less so on strategic partnerships
SE HEIs partner with EU28, Asia & N. America
Separate internationalisation plan most common in SE with focus on student & staff mobility
Main challenges in SE ensuring teaching capacity for internationalisation and increasing outgoing student mobility
