  • Responsibility — participation must protect learners, staff and institutional trust
  • Institutional respect — cooperation must recognise lawful authority and autonomy
  • Evidence — programmes and positions should be informed by relevant knowledge
  • Inclusion — international exchange should remain accessible and attentive to context
