For University West, internationalization is a quality aspect. It is not a matter for a few dedicated people but a joint effort where the strategic, academic and administrative management owns the issue and where students, teachers, researchers and administrators are involved. It is clear that responsibility is linked to the core business, the concept of integrated Internationalization is central and the teacher has a particularly important role in creating a positive international knowledge and learning environment. Internationalization is a means of achieving the highest quality in the various parts of the business. The concept thus becomes significantly broader than, for example, teacher and student exchanges.The ICM project with Mt Royal University (MtR) in Calgary was set up with the intention to establish a strong collaboration with a partner in Canada which at the time was a blind spot on the map for us. It was a continuation of a push done earlier where University West visited several institutions during a promotion tour in connection to the NAFSA conference in Vancouver 2011. The similarities in structure and mutual interest resulted in a mobility agreement and Swedish students have always been keen on exchange at MtR. With the aim to achieve balance in the mobility - making Canadian student equally interested in coming to Sweden, a joint ICM application was submitted allowing for mobility funding but more importantly a quality assured process for the exchange that would benefit the purpose and trigger the Canadian students and staff to exchange. When it got granted mobilities among teachers and staff were implemented with a clear intention to deepen the collaboration and pave way for long term continuance. Then Covid19 hit. The since long planned mobilities for key staff at MtR had to be cancelled and students currently on mobility had to return home early and finish their studies from a distance. At the same time key staff were assigned to new positions A making it hard to keep the momentum during the pandemic. A plan to revitalize the project is being discussed at the moment. A new agreement on mobility has been signed by both parties which stretches to 2025 so there is good conditions for renewed activity after the pandemic.
