Pouneh Eftekhari, International Coordinator, Strategic Partnerships and Networks at Lund University, works with internationalization efforts within the university. Witnessing diverse reactions to internationalization policies inspired her pursuit of a PhD focusing on the discipline-specific teaching approaches and reasons for (dis)engagement with the Internationalization of Curriculum at Home (IoCaH).

As part of her PhD, Pouneh is conducting a survey directed at university teachers and lecturers at the bachelor’s level across the globe. Learn more about Pouneh’s work and complete the survey here.

When relocating, Pouneh recommends that you find a mentor as soon as you arrive. To her, a mentor is someone one or two steps ahead of you on a similar path, ready to answer questions and share insights. It's that simple!
