The new edition of Wissenschaft weltoffen was published last week. For two decades, Dr Ulrich Heublein from the German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW) was one of the main authors of the publication, which is jointly published by the DAAD and the DZHW. In our interview, he talks about its key findings and explains the content and function of the new chapter on structural aspects of internationalisation. He also takes a look back at the last 20 years of university internationalisation and ventures a look ahead to the next 20 years.
Dr Sazana Jayadeva is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Cambridge in the UK. In a recently published analysis, she examines the question of what influence Indian influencers in social media such as Facebook and YouTube have on the decisions of prospective Indian students in favour of Germany as a possible host country. In the interview, she explains what prompted this research question, what the key findings of her study are and what conclusions she believes can be drawn from this for university practice.
