The field trip had a number of aims: to broaden participants’ knowledge of how a higher education week is organised; to get an overall impression of the working methods of CampusFrance (earlier EduFrance) and DAAD in non-European Union countries, and their strategies for attracting students; to better understand the internationalisation process; and to collect data on the interests and needs of Indian students. This was realised through attending fairs, and meetings with local professionals. Feedback and fresh perspectives on the higher education week were received from ECE observers.
