六、讲座介绍：
In response to globalization, all higher education institutions in the world are involved in internationalization. This presentation will explain why internationalization matters to individuals, higher education institutions, and countries. The European Union (EU) and the Organization of Economic Development (OECD) are the two organizations that have established realistic models for higher education internationalization. It is argued that the purposes of internationalization are to benchmark international education standards, identify institution’s positions, attract best teachers, scholars, researchers, and students, increase levels of competitiveness through international networking, collaboration and cooperation, and commercialize education commodity on the global education market. Finally the presentation will address what are the opportunities and challenges facing Chinese higher education institutions.
