Dates: Monday, August 26 – Wednesday, August 28, 2019

Venue: Nanzan University
18 Yamazato-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya 466-8673 Japan

1. Introduction

In recent years, as work related to university internationalization, the fostering of globally-minded talent, and international student recruitment increases, attention is being drawn to the failure to keep up with the evolution of international admissions, the internationalization of the campus environment and of the curriculum, and analysis of the outcomes of study abroad. Training and development for the faculty and administrative staff tasked with moving this work ahead is also a pressing challenge.
We at RECSIE held a training session last year for the faculty and administrative staff whose work underpins university internationalization. This year’s training, the second such session, will welcome Darla Deardorff, Executive Director of AIEA, as a guest speaker, and bring together participants from throughout Japan and abroad. Over the course of various workshops and sessions, participants will exchange views on the nature of professionals and professionalism in the field of international education. An additional goal of the conference is to build networks of personal contact which span the boundaries between individual universities.
