Abstract

This article is concerned with how the “Faculty Policies and Practices” dimension of the Center for Internationalization and Global Engagement’s (CIGE) Comprehensive Internationalization Framework [1] applies to Arnhem Business School (HAN University of Applied Sciences), the Netherlands. According to the model, institutional policies and mechanisms of support enhance the faculty opportunities to develop international skills and can maximize the impact of these experiences on student learning while helping identify implementation strategies that support internationalization at the university level. Based on the targeted expert interviews at Arnhem Business School (ABS), tenure and promotion policies, hiring guidelines, faculty mobility and on-campus professional development will be documented, assessed and disused in terms of policies, practices, actions and outcomes in line with the university internationalization goals. In order to introduce internationalization as a key pillar such criteria are globally focused and interlinked with various “glocal” stakeholders to enhance the ABS personalized internationalization strategy.
