The authors note how international academic mobility represents a professional added value and a cultural, scientific, and technological enrichment for higher education, which broadens the perspectives of the individuals and institutions involved. The internationalisation of higher education contributes to spreading an educational culture with a tendency to establish itself as a European and global educational model.engInternationalisation of higher educationMobilityHigher educationHigher education globalizationInterculturalismInternacionalização do ensino superiorMobilidadeEnsino superiorGlobalização do ensino superiorInterculturalismobook part10.4018/978-1-4666-5998-8.ch003
