Europe’s universities have a long tradition of international cooperation. But what about the "non-university" type of higher education institution, such as the Dutch hogescholen, the German Fachhochschulen, or the Irish Institutes of Technology? It is often assumed that the international cooperation activities of these young institutions are quite limited. However, little research has been devoted to the issue so far. The Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) has therefore decided to explore the state of internationalisation in Europe´s "non-universities". The present publication contains state-of-the-art reports from 15 European countries, and the papers of a seminar of international expert which explored the topic in a cross-European thematic approach.


What is ACA?
Founded in 1993, the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) is a not-for-profit pan-European network of major organisations responsible in their countries for the promotion of internationalisation in education and training. Current membership is comprised of 20 national organisations in 15 European countries, as well as associate members in North America, Japan and Australia. The secretariat is located in Brussels, Belgium, in easy reach of the European institutions.
