Are you interested in discovering new tools and practices on internalisation in education? Then save the date: 30 March - 4 April 2026. Aix-Marseille Université will be hosting the From Local to Global: Shaping the Future of International Education Staff Week, an event prioritising CIVIS partners. You’ll mix focused talks, hands-on workshops, and informal moments (welcome cocktail, cultural visit) led by amU and external contributors.

Main topics addressed

Content is concrete and practice-oriented: co-designing joint programmes (double/ multiple degrees, BIPs), showcasing COIL as a scalable “internationalisation at home” model, and sharing recruitment/ promotion playbooks (clear messaging for applicants and parents, ethical agent engagement, funnel clean-ups).

You’ll also see amU case examples - e.g., the French-Chinese Institute (WUT-AMU) and the International Classes tailored to attract and support incoming students - so you leave with templates, checklists, and contacts ready to reuse in your context.

The discussions will take place in English, with only some optional workshops in French. Please check the full programme for more details. 

Learning outcomes

By the end of the week, participants will have identified collaboration opportunities (BIP/ COIL pilots, double-degree pathways), drafted first-step action plans, and expanded a trusted peer network across alliances and regions. 

Dates: 30 March - 3 April 2026 Organiser(s): Aix-Marseille University
Format: On-site Requirements, selection process: Selections will be based on motivation and the applicant’s fit with the themes and implementation capacity (prioritising CIVIS partners)
