- Brexit consequences for UTThe United Kingdom will leave the European Union – a process known as 'Brexit’. The UK and the EU reached an agreement in 2018 on the conditions for this process. However, the UK parliament has not approved this agreement. For this reason, the 27 remaining EU countries and the British government have decided to postpone Brexit until 31 October 2019 at the latest. This date will be moved forward if the UK parliament approves the agreement earlier. Regardless if there is an agreement or no agreement on the conditions for the process of leaving the EU (deal or no-deal), it will have consequences for the University of Twente.

Stakeholder sessions with over 80 people from the UT were a significant source of input and information as well. The resulting white paper, “International Dimensions of the UT”, was discussed with the University Council and received positive advice during the last Council meeting. The white paper is not considered a ‘new’ internationalisation vision as it combines and builds upon existing vision, strategy and policy documents. However, the way all these elements and dimensions are brought together and presented is new. Because of its integrated approach, the white paper is part of the main policy framework of the UT for the coming decade under the umbrella of Shaping2030. The final and approved
