Internationalization and international mobility have always been attractive opportunities for students in higher education institutions (HEIs). Despite this, large number of place-bound students fail to avail themselves for various reasons of the opportunities study abroad initiatives afford. Therefore, there has been a strategic shift from Internationalization Abroad (IA) toward "Internationalization at Home" (IaH) in order to provide opportunities for all students and ensure greater inclusivity relevant to advancing sustainable development. Many HEIs in developed and developing countries are embracing initiatives like collaborative online international learning (COIL), collaborative virtual industry-based projects (CVIBP), and virtual internships to provide international exposure to place-bound students through curriculum internationalization efforts. This chapter explores these emerging IaH initiatives and their role in providing global exposure for students, faculty, and institutions and highlights the evolving dynamics of international partnerships in higher education in developed and developing countries. The chapter examines how these initiatives help ensure greater inclusivity of students and attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 10. The findings have important implications for HEIs and society in highlighting IaH initiatives and can help government and higher education policy makers rethink the way international partnerships are changing and design internationalization strategies accordingly. © 2025 The authors.
