Internationalisation has to be embedded in the curriculum of all study fields.

There is a structural dialogue between the International Office and other central services.

The procedures used in the different departments are streamlined.

Next to the consolidation of existing activities, the first steps need to be undertaken to establish further interdisciplinary co-operation in international projects.

Students need the guarantee for full recognition of all kinds of internationalisation activities.

The school has an active job assignment policy for teaching staff as far as international activities are concerned.
