Higher Education Mobility and Internationalisation Strategy 2020-2030 (HMIS 2030)
The HMIS 2030 is the main national policy paper of the Republic of Austria in the field of internationalisation for all Austrian public universities, universities of applied sciences, private universities and university colleges of teacher education, which was developed through a participatory process in which numerous higher education experts from the entire Austrian higher education area were actively involved with the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research.
