11. INCOME PROJECT TEMPUS SCM MEDA 1. Mobility of students and teachers is considered to be the most important reason for making internationalization a priority and is identified as the fastest growing aspect of internationalization. 2. Brain drain and the loss of cultural identity are seen as the greatest risks of internationalization. 3. Student, staff and teacher development; academic standards and quality assurance; and international research collaboration are ranked as the three most important benefits of internationalization.

12. INCOME PROJECT TEMPUS SCM MEDA 4. Lack of financial support at the institutional level is identified as the most important obstacle for internationalization. 5. Distance education and the use of ICTs are noted as key areas for new developments. 6. Faculty are seen to be the drivers for internationalization, more active than administrators and students. 7. While two-thirds of the institutions appear to have an internationalization policy/strategy in place, only about half of these institutions have budgets and a monitoring framework to support the implementation.

14. INCOME PROJECT TEMPUS SCM MEDA 3. Internationalization of the curricula in universities  "Curricula with an international orientation in content, aimed at preparing students for performing (professionally/socially) in an international and multicultural context, and designed for domestic students as well as foreign students" (OECD)

17. INCOME PROJECT TEMPUS SCM MEDA Main aspects of curricula internationalization “That an ‘internationalised curriculum’ should create values and beliefs and intellectual insight through which domestic and international students participate in a equally beneficial, internationally and multi- culturally and ethically aware educational process, engaging with and creating global up-to-date knowledge, developing understanding and useful skills, and preparing students to a concept of life long learning”.
