Assessment with an International Peer

The world has become a global village. Not only do we go out into the world more, the world also comes to us - much more than say 20 years ago. Cities host people from all over the world. Exchange programs give us opportunities to collaborate with colleagues from afar. Knowledge knows no borders, and with the ever expanding possibilities of ICT we have all the information we need (and so much more) from all over the world right under our finger tips. More and more do we relate with international colleagues, clients, customers, rules and regulations, etc. Internationalization and globalization has an impact on the job market and the professional life of more highly educated individuals, in particular. Working in an international environment requires new and additional competences, and educational institutions often explicitly include international and intercultural competencies in their curriculum.
