ACE International Project  The American Council on Education (ACE) is pleased to announce the release of a series of four publications measuring internationalization in community colleges, liberal arts colleges; comprehensive universities, and research universities. Funded by the Ford Foundation, these publications examine responses to a national survey conducted in 2001 to create an "internationalization index" that measures internationalization across six dimensions: articulated commitment, academic offerings, organizational infrastructure, external funding, institutional investment in faculty, and international students and student programs. Each publication distinguishes "high activity" institutions and presents examples of successful internationalization strategies by sector type. All four publications are available in PDF format for downloading from the ACE website.

Higher Education in a Changing Environment. Internationalisation of Higher Education Policy in Europe, Bernd Wachter (ed.)  There are two types of internationalisation. "Old internationalisation" concerns the mobility of students and scholars. "New internationalisation" deals with joint international efforts related to structural and regulatory issues of higher education systems. The present volume traces this development. It revisits the classical themes of "old internationalisation", such as exchanges and development cooperation, and it explores the main issues of "new internationalisation" (international education policy), for example quality assurance, lifelong learning and online education. The papers in this book were first presented at the 10-year anniversary conference of the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) in Ghent/Belgium in 2003. All authors are internationally-renowned specialists in their field.
