Engaging in diverse projects related to internationalisation of education, at Luminar Foundation we curate a space for students, educators and administration at education institutions, non-governmental bodies, representatives of local and central government to discuss and implement relevant change.

We have created and organised a discussion forum for the leaders in higher education, Leadership Forum in Higher Education to facilitate progress. Between the editions of the Leadership Forum, we work to increase cooperation between the universities in Central and Eastern Europe in the various aspects of internationalisation, engaging in bilateral cooperation, contributing to research and developing new tools in internationalisation. Luminar Foundation also increasingly cooperates with secondary and primary schools on the issues on internationalisation of education, especially in the aspects of global teaching and learning.
