In particular, Pannon Management Review broadens the existing links between Hungarian scholars and practitioners, on the one hand, and the wider international academic and business communities, on the other – the Journal acts as an overall Central and Eastern European catalyst for the dissemination of international thinking, both scholarly and managerial. To this end, the articles published in Pannon Management Re- view reflect the extensive variety of interests, backgrounds, and levels of experience and expertise of its contributors, both scholars and practitioners – and seek to balance academic rigour with practical relevance in addressing issues of current managerial interest. The Journal also encour- ages the publication of articles outside the often narrow disciplinary constraints of traditional academic journals, and offers young scholars publication opportunities in a supportive, nurtur- ing editorial environment.

Articles are screened – and any other reasonable precautions are taken – to ensure that their contents represent their au- thors’ own work.

After the long 2020 year of pandemic we are on the way of rebuilding. The live relationship between the scientific communities, the international links and the former, free mobility, these all have to be rebuilt. Yes, although communication between the scientific teams has not been suspend- ed during the last months, live exchange of ideas, stimulating discussions were unfortunately paralized. It is time to return back to our traditional scientific life, not neglecting, of course, the learnings of the period of pandemic. In this double issue an international research project, called STRANGER, has given a chance to present the results to the Reader. Not surprisingly the focus of the project is inter- nationalization in the university sphere. An evergreen theme in the regional or even glob- al cooperations of the educational institutions. The topic is multifaceted with special accent on management of international relations, and mobility, international competitiveness and cross-cultural aspects. Strengthening international cooperation is an essential condition for a competitive higher education. There is a close relationship between competitiveness of a country’s economy and its higher education. The article Internationalization in higher education and its role in the mobility of foreign university students written by Anita Veres and Ildikó Virág-Neumann examines in- ternational student flows, and also scholarship opportunities that could enhance the flow. The next article of Dorota Kwiatkowska-Ciotucha, Urszula Załuska and Cyprian Kozyra discusses also mobility but from the viewpoint of leverages and braking forces. Under the title of Inter- national mobility – opportunities and problems the authors develop universal solutions which would make it possible to properly organise activities in terms of formal preparation of uni- versities for receiving foreign students. The analyses revealed both the existence of numerous issues connected with the broadly understood internationalisation of universities, as well as the diversification of the perception of the situation. Similarly the third, fourth and fifth papers’ research problem is mobility, namely students’ experiences during their mobility program. In the article Individual Interview Scenario with foreign students in Greece of Christos
