Abstract

[Extract] Each year, Masaryk University in Czechia sends around 1,600 students abroad and receives more than 1,000 coming in.

“Mobility of students and staff, it’s one of the goals that we have to fulfil,” says Violeta Osouchová, director of the Centre for International Cooperation at Masaryk.

But international students are increasingly being entangled by broader migration politics and global conflicts. In many places, they are less welcome than a decade ago, even as global experience is more valuable than ever.
