ABSTRACT
In this chapter we discuss the importance of ‘internationalising’ the experience of education research students. First, we look at some features of the increasingly globalised landscape of education and education research and consider three main reasons for urging students to join international networks during their period of study. We then take two examples of contemporary developments in international networking, one at a European level and one at a global level, before concluding by suggesting a number of steps that supervisors and students might take to ensure that they engage effectively with the global education research community.
