On October 21st, FLAD organizes the 2nd edition of the FLAD Forum on Portugal and USA Higher Education 2024, dedicated to the theme: ‘The Internationalization Imperative: Recruitment, Student Engagement and Creative Models’.<\/em> This initiative will bring together in the FLAD auditorium, in Lisbon, experts in the internationalization of Higher Education from institutions in the United States and Europe, to share best practices and develop partnerships for internationalization, which are sustainable and with real impact.<\/h3>\n

In the last decade, FLAD has invested in promoting the internationalization of Higher Education with the support of initiatives of Portuguese universities, the creation of funding lines for the development of internationalization projects, and, more visibly, with the creation of the SiPN – Study in Portugal Network program, a study abroad program with unique characteristics in Portugal. and through which we have already brought more than 1,700 American students to study at Portuguese partner universities.<\/p>\n

At a time when demographic issues have become unavoidable, internationalization has become an imperative – whether in terms of curriculum updating, good practices or funding of Higher Education institutions –\u00a0 and continuing the path we have traveled, and together with our partners in the USA-Portugal Campus initiative – Fulbright Portugal and the National Agency Erasmus+ -, FLAD organizes the second edition of the FLAD Forum on Portugal and USA Higher Education.<\/p>\n

On October 21st, we will bring together experts from the United States and Europe in the FLAD auditorium, in Lisbon, to present and discuss the best practices of what is done in the United States for the internationalization of Universities, in order to promote greater integration between Portugal and the United States in terms of academic mobility. to give greater visibility to Portugal as a preferred destination for American students and researchers, and to promote this knowledge among Portuguese higher education institutions so that they can expand their own capacity for the mobility of students and academic staff to and from the United States.<\/p>\n

These experts will present the essential issues affecting higher education mobility and success stories that illustrate the state of the art in the sector.
\nThis year’s edition will be attended by, among others, Cheryl Matherly, Vice President for International Affairs at Lehigh University, Joel Ericson, Institute for International Education (IIE) International Director, Almaty Kazakhstan and Robert Glover, University of Maine Coordinator and Professor, public-policy and community engagement (Donald Harward Faculty Award for Service-Learning Excellence).<\/p>\n
