Abstract

A research on institutional policy regarding internationalization has been headed by the Netherlands Universities Foundation for International Cooperation (Nuffic) [1, 2], including many of the Dutch Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). From these higher education institutions, 27 of them representing 59% had a central-plan level, 8 of them (meaning 17%) were developing this type of plan, while for 7 of these institutions, representing 15%, such a central-level plan was missing. Just 4 institutions of the HEIs in this research were without a central-level policy on internationalization. Consequently, it can be stated that internationalization policies are adopted at a high level in the Netherlands. This paper assigns the new institutional progress as part of the framework for the strategic planning and internationalization policies as part of a comprehensive research project developed at HAN University of Applied Sciences. Mainly, this paper discusses with the “Administrative Leadership, Structure, and Staffing” as a dimension in the Comprehensive Internationalization CIGE model [3].
