Only 7 universities have attached an internationalization strategy though, which is in most cases incorporated in the University Strategic Master Plan, as a separate section. Among the universities that have submitted a document on internationalization strategy are BSU, BTEU, GRSU and BSEU. The other three universities have incorporated internationalization strategy in the overall strategic plan of the university. Provided strategies are lacking concrete key performance indicators though (process, outcome and/or impact indicators) and targets, which makes the monitoring and quality assurance, as well as enhancement unrealistic. The Strategic plans are also lacking strengths and weakness analysis (only two universities have SWOT on internationalization), risks and assumptions, timeframe, resource planning, policies etc. Chart 2. Availability of Internationalization Strategic Plan Strategic Planning of internationalization Does your HEI have a strategic plan of internationalization? Please, attach yes 37% no 63% 6 Availability of Internal Procedures and Regulations on Management of International Activity 23 universities have responded positively on the availability of regulatory framework on managing international activity and procedures (Chart 3.). Most universities did not provide concrete examples though. Among the common regulatory mechanisms and regulatory frameworks are mentioned the availability of learning agreements, three party mobility plan, Regulation on the structural division, Regulation on the order of sending employees and students on business trips etc. Several universities have referenced the Belarusian legislation and see no need for developing regulatory internal framework. Three universities, including Mogilev State University of Food Technologies, Vitebsk State University named after P.M. Masherov, Belarusian State Medical University have undergone ISO 9001 certification. International activity is included in the scope of certification of the quality management system for compliance with the requirements of ISO 9001. Chart 3. Availability regulatory framework Does your HEI have a regulatory framework for management of international activity? Plaese, give a brief description of the ongoing work in this direction.

  • Connections Between Scientific Research and Education in the Field of Tourism and Leisure in Belarus
    Connections between scientific research and education in the field of tourism and leisure in Belarus Aliaksandr Tarasionak 1* and Viachaslau Nikitsin 2 Received: 29/07/2016 Accepted: 06/09/2016 1 Belarus State Economic University, ul. Sverdlova, 7, Minsk, 220050 Belarus; tel +375 17 3151397; e-mail [email protected] 2 University of Paderborn, Warburger Str. 100, Paderborn, D-33098 Germany; tel +49 160 99235411; e-mail [email protected] * Corresponding author Abstract The development of tourism research and training for the tourism industry started in Belarus in the 1970s. This was due to the need for recreational sectors of the economy, which in turn was caused by the increasing demand for tourism and recreation on behalf of the population. Tourism research has its origins in theory of recreational geography, which was best suited to the needs of a planned economy. During the economic crisis in the 1990s, a stagnation in tourism research took place. In the early 2000s, owing to the intensification of international tourism, development of market relations and the improvement of the economy, tourism research gained new impetus. However, the methodology of recreational geography was not enough: there appeared a need for a close cooperation with foreign scientific schools and universities. The drive for mutual cooperation between Belarus and the EU in tourism science and education has resulted in TEMPUS projects. This article reviews the history of tourism development, tourism, scientific research and tourism education in Belarus. It characterizes the state tourism industry and describes the problems that could erupt with further development of the tourism business in Belarus.
