Internationalisation is currently among the key objectives of higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide, particularly in the Bologna signatory states. Measures which are being introduced at the international and national levels with the purpose to promote internationalisation differ in their scope and application depending on the context. The paper covers the issues related to the development of both internationalisation at home and internationalisation abroad. A few examples of good practices in fostering internationalisation are also provided. Since internationalisation is considered to be beneficial for a large number of stakeholders, many assessment tools are currently being developed and implemented to measure it. The paper provides a brief overview of the existing assessment tools as well as the analysis of two European methods used to evaluate internationalisation.
