A look to the university internationalization from the perspective of social responsibility: young researchers discourses

Abstract

The article discusses some of the relationships between the universities internationalization processes and the social responsibility each institution has in this area. In the first part there is conceptual description of the relationship between the universities internationalization processes and the inter-university cooperation for development. In the second part, the main results of the in-depth interviews made to a group of graduate students in the context of their training as young researchers are presented. The accounts obtained recognize the importance, for young researchers, of having access to scholarships and help, as well as having access to research networks in relation to the impact of the universities internationalization. Furthermore, the transcendence of a good service in the International Relation Department which encourages university cooperation is also mentioned.
