Rumbley, Laura. (2020). Systemic University Change Towards Internationalisation for Academia in European higher education institutions: An exploratory study. SUCTIA Network.  Brussels, Belgium.

This exploratory study serves as the first intellectual output of Systemic University Change Towards Internationalisation for Academia (SUCTIA). SUCTIA is a European Commission-funded project (2019–2022) that aims to raise awareness about, and shift the internal culture of, European higher education institutions towards internationalisation, thus creating systemic change within these institutions and in European higher education more broadly.

The report sought input from respondents in six key areas:

• The ways in which academic staff engage with the internationalisation strategy or activities of the institution
• The ways in which academic staff are encouraged to engage with the internationalisation strategy or activities of the institution
• Good practices employed by the institution to encourage engagement with internationalisation by academic staff
• The steps the institution might take to better engage academic staff with the internationalisation strategy and activities
• The additional resources that could enhance more positive results in terms of engaging academic staff in these areas, and
• The specific topics or themes that respondents felt were important for academic staff to cultivate with respect to internationalisation.
