Strategic Internationalisation Planning

General Information

Universitat Rovira i Virgili, born in 1991, started its strategic planning processes in 2001 with its Strategic Research Plan, followed by the Strategic Teaching Plan in 2003 and then its Strategic Plan of the Third Mission and Strategic Internationalisation Plan, both in 2009. There have been already two Strategic Internationalisation Plans (SIP) at URV: the first comprised the period from 2009 to 2014 and the second is being implemented at present and includes the period from 2014 to 2019. These plans have allowed the University to be internationalisation oriented, to measure it, and to implement actions and to follow-up on them.

 To start a strategic planning process can be a daunting task. At URV, the International Strategic Unit was responsible for the development of a first strategic plan in 2008 and it was difficult to know where to even start! We have learned a lot with our two SIPs and would like to share our experience with colleagues from other universities who are also in charge of embarking on strategic planning processes, especially those that are internationalisation oriented.

 This International Staff Training Week is conceived as a platform for sharing best practices, concerns and solutions regarding strategic planning. We will share URV’s experience, our successes and pitfalls and we are looking forward to learning from other participants’ experiences.    

 The methodology of this international staff training week will be very interactive and participatory. Participants will work on their own plans and work hard, but also play hard.

 Also know that the chosen week coincides with Saint John’s festivities. This is why June 24th is a holiday and Saint John’s Eve (June 23rd) is a big celebration that lasts all night long. We invite you to stay to celebrate the triumph of good over evil and enjoy the bonfires, life concerts and true Catalan hospitality.

 We look forward to receiving you at the URV for a great international week!
