Abstract
This chapter begins by distinguishing between biographical generations which are defined by year of birth/age and status generations which divide academics along the lines of seniority or career stage, e.g., “senior academics” or “professors” vs. “junior staff.” It then examines the extent to which views about, and actual involvement in, international teaching and research activities vary across generations of academics from advanced and emerging countries, employing one of two typologies of academic mobility that have been developed and applied analytically in the CAP project. The chapter concludes by arguing that generations shape, at least in part, patterns of international mobility and activity.

Notes
- 1.
It has to be noted that biographical generations are concurrently historical generations, because the process of “internationalization” was at a different stage when they got to know the world of academia.
