The International Women’s University (ifu) constituted a multidimensional experiment in higher edu-cation, which is focused here with regard to the transnationalisation of education. This article refers to the concept of transnational educational spaces (Gogolin & Pries, 2004; Fürstenau, 2004; Lutz, 2004; Adick, 2005) and proposes a perspective on the development of inner-institutional transnational edu-cational spaces. In reference to the discussions of transnational educational biographies as micro-levelof transnational educational spaces (Gogolin & Pries, 2004; Fürstenau, 2004) and the organizational macro-level of transnationalisation of education, which has been empirically described in higher edu-cation research and within the context of neo-institutionalism, the article draws a perspective on a meso-level of transnational educational spaces as inner institutional development. Referring to theexample of the International Women’s University ifu, which provided an international setting for women scientists from all parts of the world, it is shown how intercultural communication and coop-eration, a transnational setting of teaching and learning and a curriculum with a global approach have been developed as an inner institutional transnational educational space at ifu.
