Abstract


The aim of the paper is to present the influence of the main variables that influence the impact of university internationalization, using fuzzy logic. The membership function variables are academic reputation, employee reputation, citations per paper, articles per faculty, international research network, employment results, faculty-student ratio, international student diversity, international staff ratio, inbound exchange student ratio, outbound exchange student ratio and sustainability score. In addition, specific weaknesses in the adoption of sustainable practices are discussed, such as bureaucracy, sustainable challenges, competition and resource allocation. The evaluation of fuzzy rules shows that universities make considerable efforts to internationalize their image and increase their position in university rankings. The limitations of this research refer to the fact that the analysis was carried out for a technical university in Romania, being considered a pilot university.
