■Abstract 
New contexts, including the changing geopolitics, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Ukraine-Russia war and others, have brought about considerable changes to internationalization of higher education worldwide. These changes are evident and multiple. They are concerned not only with the redefinition of and reconsideration into internationalization of higher education, but also with reforms on a wide variety of aspects or activities of internationalization of higher education. Drawing on two presentations, the aim of this international open seminar is to investigate and discuss what new changes have occurred in specific and main aspects and activities of internationalization of higher education at the global, regional, national levels, and what key factors have caused these changes, and what implications can be drawn from these changes from the comparative perspective.

We welcome all speakers, discussant, and participants to discuss these issues and move the field forward.
