To explore the concept and practice of internationalization at home(IaH)of higher education institutions under the"Belt and Road"Initiative,focusing on the key elements and connotations,the implementation measures,outcomes,successful experiences,and insights of internationalization at home of higher education institutions,this paper examines and analyzes the role of internationalization at home of higher education institutions in fostering the high-quality growth of higher education institutions,promoting regional economic and social development,and enhancing international discourse power,through a typical case study of Chang'an Dublin International College of Transportation at Chang'an University.The research identifies several challenges to the internationalization at home of higher education institutions,including cultural disparities and cultural integration issues,imbalances in educational resources,a shortage of international talent,and limited financial and institutional support.However,it also highlights significant opportunities,such as policy support and guidance,a growing international student population,deepening international cooperation and exchanges,and advancements and applications in information technology.The study concludes that,under the"Belt and Road"Initiative,higher education institutions must develop well-considered strategies for their internationalization at home,introduce high-quality foreign educational resources,improve school management and research quality,cultivate a top-tier faculty,and strengthen international cooperation and exchanges to support the Initiative's goals.
