Thursday morning keynote by Albert Nijboer
The strategic and transformational potential of international partnerships
International academic partnerships have a central role in the internationalisation strategies of an increasing number of higher education institutions in Europe and beyond.
In this interactive session you will learn about the distinguishing dimensions and characteristics of international partnerships, their relation to (comprehensive) internationalisation, and current trends and developments in the field of international academic collaboration. You will also be asked to share your own experience with international partnering: bilateral and multilateral.
The purpose of the session is to further develop your understanding of the broad range of international academic partnerships, and their (potential) contribution to an internationalisation focused on quality.
The focus will be on ‘strategic’ and ‘transformational’ partnerships. What do we understand with these – partially overlapping – concepts? And what are the conditions, enablers and obstacles for partnerships to become strategic and transformational?
Relevant insights from transformational change and social network theory will be shared and compared with real-life examples and experiences of participants.

Student Programme Diversity & Social inclusion
Welcome to Rotterdam
Rotterdam, a bustling modern city with incredible architecture, welcomes you for an exciting learning experience. This year the Cohehre conference 2022 will take place at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (RUAS) and provides you a great opportunity to explore this wonderful city and join an interesting student programme.
Programme
During this intensive course you work in an international and interprofessional study group supervised by international tutors. You are challenged to come up with the best idea for creating an inclusive environment in the super-diverse city of Rotterdam. Through lectures, study visits and by exploring the city and a designated district you gain insights about diversity and inclusion.
The programme of the intensive course consists of two modules. The expected outcomes of preparatory assignments (module 1), based on distance learning, will provide input for your work during the 5-day intensive program in Rotterdam (module 2).
At the same time a conference for staff takes take place, starting on Wednesday. You as a student will be included in parts of this program as well as in the social program. This means that are invited to join the keynote speakers on Wednesday and Thursday and together with the staff you will be part of the study visits on Thursday. In addition to the official programme you are invited to join the opening ceremony and reception on Wednesday, the ‘tasty-walk’ on Thursday evening and the final dinner and dance on Friday evening.
There is enough time during the course for social activities to get to know each other and the beautiful city of Rotterdam. For the cultural dinner on Monday, we invite students to share their culture by bringing typical food from their home country. Besides that, you will definitely explore the Dutch kitchen by joining the provided Dutch meal and lunches.
