In January 2007 the Estonian higher education internationalisation strategy 2006-2015 was endorsed by the Minister of Education and Research as a result of extensive national debate. The objective of the internationalisation of higher education in Estonia is to improve the competitiveness of Estonian higher education in the region, make our institutions of higher education more visible and create a legal and institutional environment that supports internationalisation in all of its aspects.
Another positive development has been the parliamentary approval of Estonian Higher Education Strategy 2006–2015 in November 2006 and of Estonian Research, Development and Innovation Strategy 2007-2013 in February 2007. The strengthening of the international dimension of higher education and research institutions is identified in both documents as one of the main challenges in the coming years. It has been envisaged to use both national as well as European Structural Funds for the development and implementation of practices laid out in the strategies.
