    IAU 2015 Internationalization of Higher Education: moving beyond mobility Quality Enhancement Trough Networking Prof.Dr. Gülsün Sağlamer Istanbul Technical University 29 October 2015 IAU2015-Siena 1 Content o In the first part of the presentation after a short introduction, three questions will be discussed; o Do HE&R Networks play important roles in internationalization? o Do HE&R Networks motivate HE Institutions for quality improvement? o What is the impact of networking on quality enhancement? o In the second part, HE&R networks and consortia that specifically address quality will be analysed with a special reference to EUA Institutional Evaluation Programme together with other related networks and consortia. o Conclusions will be the last part of the presentation. 2 Introduction • Higher education faces many complex, interconnected and all- encompassing fundamental questions in an environment where uncertainty plays a major role. • Under the forces of globalisation Universities have to compete worldwide and establish cross-border relationships strengthen their roles both at home and abroad. • These developments have gained momentum in recent decades and have put a great deal of pressure on universities to internationalise themselves. • There is a great need for reform and continuous improvement in institutions of higher education but universities are responding these rapidly changing conditions in different ways 3 Challenges for Universities Individual institutions of higher education may choose to be active players in worldwide efforts to reformulate the functions and strategies of higher education ………..or they may be content with implementing received wisdom from best practices around the world, but some may choose to resist change entirely by preserving their existing mode of operation CHANGE Saglamer/Karakullukcu 2004.

Actas del II Congreso Internacional de la Asociación Ibérica de Estudios de Traducción e Interpretación. Madrid, 9-11 de febrero de 2005. Madrid: AIETI, pp. 623-640. ISBN 84-8468-151-3.

ANOTHER STORY El proceso de convergencia europea, España y la traducción y la interpretación1 Ricardo Muñoz Martín Universidad de Granada Posiblemente, el título de esta ponencia haya recordado a alguno de sus lectores una colección de cuentos de Edward M. Forster (1871-1970), autor y crítico inglés del grupo de Bloomsbury, más conocido por su novela A Passage to India. El cuento que da nombre a ese libro, The Life to Come and Other Stories, relata el ímpetu misionero de un joven que confunde y permite la confusión de los evangelizados en la interpretación del amor. De ser así, su alusión en el título de esta ponencia podría interpretarse como relativa a la noción de confundir conceptos o, quizás, a la coincidencia histórica de que la vida del autor se prolongó desde el principio de la segunda revolución industrial hasta los albores de la revolución de la sociedad de la información, período que en la universidad española comprende, grosso modo, desde la adopción completa del modelo napoleónico1 hasta la aprobación de la Ley de Reforma Universitaria (LRU)2, que acabaría con la Ley Moyano3.
