CIMO has recently released two new publications on higher education.

The first is based on the Global Mindedness survey, a pioneering study measuring how international experiences impact on students' attitudes and “engagement with difference”. Commissioned by CIMO and launched in 2013, the survey is the product of a research team led by Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, Professor of Global Education, University of Oulu. The new publication, titled “Facts Express 1b/2015: Do mobility periods change students' attitudes?” presents the first findings of the survey and suggests different ways of reading the results.
