“…As to China, which is a donor country in global brain circulation, there are much fewer international scholars (born in other country) among faculty members Huang et al 2014b), and a low rate of returned talents may reduce the proportion of faculty's international experience Yang and Welch 2010). Thus, China has low proportion of faculty members who have an experience of working abroad (Rostan and Höhle 2014;.…”

Faculty plays a critical role in the growing trend of internationalization in higher education. Thus, it is important to understand the factors that drive faculty members to get involved in internationalization. Employing structural equation model with data gathered from questionnaire, this study attempts to explore how faculty engagement in internationalization is motivated based on a survey in China, and institution type is also considered in our model. Our findings suggest that in the overall sample, both individual and environmental motivations positively relate to faculty engagement in internationalization, and individual motivation is the more critical predictor. One striking result is that individual motivation plays a complete mediating factor between environmental motivation and faculty engagement in internationalization, suggesting the significance of transferring institutional incentives to faculty's individual competence and efficacy. Institution type significantly accounts for environmental motivations. As to key university, the result was consistent with above. In general institution, however, the effect of environmental motivation is insignificant, indicating that sufficient funding is indispensable for the internationalization ambition of institutions. The implications for research and policy conclude this paper.

“…Interestingly, this rate is higher than the mobility rate of academics surveyed in North America (25 %) and Europe (22 %). However, in contrast to the other regions surveyed, most of the border crossings of Asian academics have been between Asia and other regions (notably for study and doctoral training); the intraregional migration and mobility of academics surveyed in Asia is slightly lower (9 %) than among those surveyed in North America and Europe ( Huang, Teichler, & Galaz-Fontes, 2014 ).…”

Since the 1990s, economic globalisation has led to tremendous changes in higher education in East and Southeast Asia. This resulted in the implementation of new policies and strategies in higher education and an increasing emphasis on the international mobility of students and faculty members, as well as on mobility of educational programs and campuses in this region. This chapter focuses on the international mobility of students, faculty members, educational programs, and higher education campuses in selected countries in Asia. The chapter fi rst introduces the changing policies of internationalisation of higher education in Asia in recent years. It then presents a general portrait of the international mobility of students and faculty members, cross-border educational programs and campuses at tertiary education in Asia. The chapter concludes by outlining characteristics of the international mobility of students, faculty members, educational programs and campuses and identifi es challenges facing Asia.

“…Au Canada, si les investissements des entreprises étrangères représentent plus du tiers du financement total de la R-D au pays (CAC, 2018), seulement 0,9% des dépenses en R-D exécutées par l'enseignement supérieur ont été financées par des sources étrangères (Statistiques Canada, 2021). Huang et al (2014) rapportent que, en moyenne, 7% du financement externe de recherche obtenu par les professeurs canadiens provient de sources étrangères. Aucune étude canadienne n'a, à ce jour, examiné les liens entre le financement international et la production de recherche au Canada.…”

La recherche universitaire est une activité qui transcende les frontières géographiques et qui se construit à même des expertises, des ressources, une mobilité et des collaborations internationales L’objectif de cet article est d’examiner l’influence perçue de l’internationalisation sur la production de recherche par les professeurs d’universités à forte intensité de recherche dans cinq provinces canadiennes. Une enquête à laquelle 1 045 professeurs ont répondu suivie d’analyses descriptives, tests d’échantillons appariés et d’une ANOVA, révèlent que l’internationalisation est perçue comme ayant une influence positive sur la production de recherche. Les collaborations internationales de recherche, le recrutement international de professeurs et d’étudiants aux cycles supérieurs, de même que le financement international de la recherche, sont considérés comme ayant plus d’influence que le recrutement d’étudiants au premier cycle et les partenariats institutionnels.
