RISHII focuses on management approaches and modus operandi necessary to plan and implement curriculum internationalisation. The focus is on improving communication and collaboration between the different agents (who should be) involved in curriculum internationalisation. Through adopting the tools and procedures proposed by RISHII, Indian Higher Education Institutions will be able to significantly improve their management and operation.
Internationalisation is at the heart for RISHII as its name itself clearly indicates – Resources for Internationalisation of Higher Education Institutions in India. RISHII General Objective and its 4 Specific Objectives address the task of helping Indian Partners achieve Curriculum Internationalisation – Internationalisation-FOR-ALL. RISHII focuses on developing tools, resources, procedures and mechanisms necessary to plan curriculum internationalisation actions well and implement the actions planned.
RISHII focuses on training on Internationalisation of Curriculum (IoC) for both faculty and
non-
academic staff. RISHII trains two Levels of Internationalisation of Curriculum (IoC)
Champions:
RISHII participants will become Level 2 Advanced IoC Champions – able to plan for and
implement IoC, and also to encourage others to do the same through providing Continuous
Professional Development activities on IoC.
Those who will attend RISHII IoC Workshops will become Level 1 IoC Champions – able to
plan for and implement IoC themselves (but not yet to provide Continuous Professional on
IoC).
