ABSTRACT
‘Internationalization’ is currently a buzzword in every university, regardless of where it is in the world. In the coming decades, too, there will be increasing collaboration between universities at the global level, whereby the academic global village seems to be becoming a reality. But is this really the case? It is clear that talent will find it easier than ever to search for the best opportunities worldwide, and global student exchanges offer possibilities, but will the role of universities change fundamentally with this, or will they always play important national and even regional roles?
