Samenvatting

In the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic, the field of internationalisation of higher education is in rapid transition. Worldwide, academic mobility has been rapidly increasing over the past two decades {Knight, 2020). However, the current traveling restrictions have limited the possibilities for physical international academic mobility abruptly. Over the same two decades, Internationalisation at home (Beelen & Jones, 2015) has been proposed as an inclusive and purposeful approach to Internationalisation. Meaningful cross-cultural interaction and collaboration within the culturally diverse student can be an important resource for global, international and intercultural learning in this context. Nevertheless, the current limited possibilities to meet physically in the domestic campus have impacted activities implemented as part of Internationalisation at home as well. Although the current crisis poses challenges to higher education, it may also provide opportunities and even a necessity to rethink Internationalisation policy and in practice, for example by finding new ways to integrate local, regional, national and global dimensions in the curriculum and by making use of new technological opportunities, and stimulating carbon-neutral forms of mobility.
