I CLADEA Conference on International Relations
Barcelona, from 4 to 6 May 2008
in cooperation with:

INTERNACIONALIZACIÓN: MÁS ALLÁ DE LAS
FRONTERAS GEOGRÁFICAS Y LOS LÍMITES INTERNOS
Estudiantes Internacionales, Instituciones Internacionales

INTERNATIONALISATION:BEYOND BORDERS AND INTERNAL BOUNDARIES
International Students, International Institutions

Internationalisation is the option for growth most commonly undertaken by companies. Business Schools and Management Faculties, an accurate reflection of the business community, are facing the challenge of their own internationalisation. Not every academic institution considers this process the same way nor everyone develops the same actions to achieve internationalisation. Therefore, while many of them are focused on attracting foreign students, some others take international links further and they develop academic and research cooperation agreements, obtain international accreditations, reach agreements with multinationals and even open new campus abroad.

International dimension in Schools and Faculties is considered a demanding and difficult challenge, specially regarding means and financing. However, Universities and Schools are self-satisfied with recruiting foreign students and not many of them take a risk and decide to look for a deep and real international dimension of the whole institution and to challenge not only geographical borders but also cultural and internal boundaries within universities and schools.
