Internationalisation Descriptors for Higher Education (IDHE)

What is IDHE?

Developed through a 2014 collaboration between the Directorate-General for Higher Education, Lifelong Learning and Scientific Research (DGESVR) of the Ministry of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the Bologna Experts, and the AEF-Europe Agency, the Internationalisation Descriptors for Higher Education serve as a multidimensional tool to guide and support the internationalisation process within higher education institutions.

In a context where all higher education institutions face the challenges of internationalising their teaching, research, and community service activities, the Internationalisation Descriptors for Higher Education (IDHE) aim to stimulate reflection on the diversity of possible internationalisation activities. They encourage the development, implementation, and evaluation of internationalisation strategies and policies, while contributing to the structuring and self-assessment of practices.
