Introduction and Purpose of the Manual
by Robert Coelen, Vice-President International, February 2006
|
The primary purpose of this manual is to communicate issues concerning internationalisation. Specific activities facilitating the mission of Leiden University and undertaken by the International Office will be communicated through this manual.
Communicative Style Last year in this introduction it was already mentioned that we would communicate more with you. This is not only through this manual, but also through a newsletter dedicated to those of you interested in internationalisation. This newsletter, UNIverse, is now in full flight and several issues should have reached you already. A further point of communication from this University in English is the University Newsletter (English Edition) which will appear once a month. |
