Produced, edited and narrated by Tino Brömme Audio editing by Peter Redmayne Music by Zende Music ESNA European Higher Education News, Berlin www.esna.tv U. Teichler: Universities do not just need more strategic action in terms of being a little more aware why they do what they do, how they do it and what kind of results they have. Now, the message is, you have to do everything. Universities live in an age of super-complexity where they have to do internationalisation activities in dozens of different ways concurrently. And second, that they are told by society – “this is important, globalisation is important, employability is important”, they get one message after another. But the idea was these kinds of signals are so uneven and so selective that it is necessary for universities themselves to have a clear vision of what they think, which social demands they have to take seriously for their own actions. ...........
