Consultancy

We can provide consultancy and quality assurance to guide your institution through internationalization and the Internationalization of Curriculum (IoC). This involves a 3-stage process to support university leadership and university stakeholders in mapping, benchmarking, and strategy. 

Stage 1: Mapping

Establish where your institution is and facilitate discussion around your new vision with university stakeholders using Appreciative Inquiry. 

Stage 2: Benchmarking 

We create a detailed report on your Internationalization Strategy with a detailed didactic analysis of study courses and programs benchmarked to quality criteria. 

Stage 3: Strategy Design

Develop a new institution-wide internationalization strategy or focus on Internationalization of Curriculum, including a comprehensive capacity-building plan for your institution. 

Professional Learning Communities

Do you need to tackle complex challenges and realize innovations, engage academics into internationalization, improve teaching and design international programs, create welcoming joint campuses and degrees with your partners? MIIC will support you in setting up and facilitating Professional Learning Communities at your institution. 

We do this in 2 ways:

  1. Building a tailored package to set up and run a PLC at your institution: We will design a PLC for you based on your needs and facilitate or support you in facilitation of the community. 
  2. MIIC’s Masterclass: we hold an intensive course for future Facilitators of Communities, to build their competencies and confidence to set up and run their own communities, run in collaboration with Swiss National Agency for Swiss universities.
Events

We love organizing interactive conferences and events with you and for you. These include non-typical networking events such as

Webinars
