Mapping Internationalization (MINT)
09 Dec 2011
Inspired by clear demand from the field, Nuffic has teamed up with a think-tank of higher education representatives from various institutions to develop MINT, a tool that allows institutions to map their internationalization activities and objectives.
MINT consists of a digital self-evaluation form that generates a convenient outline of various activities and objectives related to internationalization. Facilities and quality assurance measures are also addressed in the evaluation. The tool can be used by higher education institutions or institutional subdivisions such as individual faculties and, in particular, study programmes.
MINT Workshop
Should you be interested in following a workshop on MINT you can contact us using the online registration form. We will then keep you informed of any new workshops scheduled.
Subjects that could be discussed in a MINT workshop include:
- making choices from the range of possibilities the MINT tool offers;
- how to make a comparison between institutions, faculties or programmes;
- utilising the results of a self evaluation, comparison or benchmark within an institution.
What does MINT offer?
Institutions can use MINT for:
- baseline measurements
- self-evaluations
- intra-institutional and inter-institutional comparisons
- benchmarking
MINT enables institutional users to:
- classify and profile their institution
- prepare visitations and accreditations
- monitor and guide policies and activities
Stimulate discussion
In addition to providing institutional aids, MINT is designed to launch a broad discussion about making strategic choices in internationalization objectives, identifying internationalization indicators and defining standards to measure the impact of internationalization.
