IMPI indicator set
The IMPI project 2009-2012 developed a comprehensive set of indicators to measure input and output of internationalisation. Sadly, the coordinating institution took down the website some years ago. However, some members had been able to download the full indicator list – which is open source due to the rules of a European project.
Therefore, we provide it here as an option for everybody to use:
