The seminar will be delivered by Irina Ferencz, Deputy Director at the Brussels-based Academic Cooperation Association (ACA)  – a mainly European umbrella organisation, which brings together national-level agencies from many European countries that act as higher education internationalization vectors in and for the respective higher education systems. Irina’s main expertise is in the fields ofinternational student mobility (both quantitative and qualitative analyses) and in internationalization policies at the University and national level, including the assessment of internationalization via indicators. Over the years Irina led ACA’s Mapping mobility in European higher education study (2011) and European and national mobility policies study (2012), both of which involved EU-wide surveys of 30+ countries
