Symbiosis International University and the Association of Indian Universities, in collaboration with the Indian Chapter of OBREAL Global, are organising the sixth edition of the International Conference on Internationalisation of Higher Education (IHE) with the theme Interregional Cooperation for Effective Internationalisation of Higher Education.

IHE 2022 will bring together academics, university administrators, practitioners, vice-chancellors and policy-makers to discuss the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead as they face what is likely to be one of the most challenging situations faced by higher education in recent times during and post the COVID-19 pandemic.The internationalisation of higher education and increasing student mobility are not new social phenomena. The internationalisation of higher education has evolved the education sector into a globally, interconnected knowledge- based society over the past few decades. Academic partnerships and information exchange prospects with collaborators in other nations, especially in the same region, have become more important to higher education institutions and national governments. Recent research on how regional cooperation has risen in economic, educational and cultural dimensions has convincingly indicated that new models of higher education governance are emerging in Asia, marked by evolving traits of ‘regulatory regionalism.’ The conference this year will focus on the interregional cooperation between countries and the importance of dialogue in advancing internationalisation in higher education.
