Abstract

The higher education worldwide is in the period of transition, affected by globalization, the requirement for mass access, changing relationships between the university, state and new technologies and others. Internationalization is one of the major forces impacting and shaping higher education as it evolves to meet the challenges of the 21st century. These were the main reasons why the Run-up InterUniversity Study Project (RIUS) was designed by three Czech higher education institutions. After the successful piloting process the project continued as the InterUniversity Study (IUS) Project, been built on co-operation of eight European universities. Running the R/IUS projects the borderless web-based concept was applied. Several tools were developed for the complex evaluation of the project. The results, presented in this paper, entitle us to state the model of InterUniversity Study designed and verified within the R/IUS projects was successful and can be applied within further on.
