Welcome to the IMS 2020 Project

 Background:

The term Internationalization has become an integral part of university life and yet it is a term that remains unclear. Internationalization is no longer merely a consequence of ever expanding globalization but has taken on a dynamic of its own. Yesterday spoke of a global world without frontiers and were slowly forced to consider questions of internationalization. Today people are no longer forced to do so, on the contrary they welcome the chance to look beyond national horizons and learn from their neighbours. In this context internationalization entails an agenda with concrete policies and detailed strategies allowing both players and institutions to communicate and collaborate in the international sphere. This is of particular relevance in the field of medical education where mobility between different countries and health systems is already an integral and essential part of medical school life across the continent and beyond.
