There were 6 posters, and 6 symposia (one double one). All were accepted. The interactive poster session worked well.
In addition, the special call by Monne Wihlborg & Sue Robson received 15 responses, including 1 symposia, which is great news.
From 2017 onwards Internationalisation will be a sixth subtheme of network 22.
Attendance was good but given the number of subsessions (up to 6 at the same time) some sessions were relatively small. Rooms generally OK, and very close to one another.
Special call: internationalisation of higher education (research) had a parallel stream with about 6 sessions. This worked well
Two joint sessions, with network 26 (Leadership) and 32 (org education) and a joint symposium
We organized an excursion to Trinity College, Aidan Seery guided about 25 people along this beautiful site, a great success.
The network recevied funding for organizing a pre-conference for the HEC Amsterdam, which was highly succesful, more than 300 people attended the conference, the pre-conference about 70.
