This paper voices the opinions of international students' from China and India, and highlights the intentional process of integrating their perceptions of internationalization into a strategic service delivery plan. Data on those perceptions were analysed using a probabilistic model. We clustered 766 international students' opinions into categories that enabled us to determine the main ideas that constituted their perceptions. The findings enabled us to draw comparisons between two major sending countries and to formulate a series of recommendations for stakeholders in higher education institutions that receive Chinese and Indian students, as well as for policymakers. Primary differences relate to factors such as learning and internship opportunities for Chinese students and service provision for Indian ones. In conclusion, this study offers the next step in the analysis of Chinese and Indian international students' needs providing with an innovative way of determining students concerns with a view to empowering them within the internationalization process of higher education institutions.

本文阐述了来自中国和印度的国际学生的观点，并强调了将他们对国际化的看法融入战略服务提供计划的有意过程。这些感知的数据使用概率模型进行了分析。我们收集了766名国际学生的意见，并将其分类，以确定构成他们观点的主要观点。这些发现使我们能够比较两个主要的派遣国，并为接收中国和印度学生的高等教育机构的利益相关者以及政策制定者制定一系列建议。主要的差异与中国学生的学习和实习机会以及印度学生的服务提供等因素有关。总之，本研究为下一步分析中国和印度国际学生的需求提供了一种创新的方法来确定学生的关注点，以期在高等教育机构的国际化进程中赋予他们权力。

Universities of applied sciences (UAS) have a strong mandate to carry out research, development and innovation (RDI) activities in collaboration with local stakeholders. Geographical proximity is one of the key factors for the creation and success of RDI activities because of the positive balance between costs and benefits of local knowledge transfer, but they also depend on the networks of individual staff members. This paper aims to explore how maintaining and developing purpose-built and individual RDI partnerships during the COVID-19 pandemic has been managed. An enhanced conceptual framework for assessing contextual dimensions of the RDI activities beyond academic entrepreneurship as business ventures has been developed. The paper focuses on a single case study drawing on semi-structured research interviews investigating how the swap to remote working have affected RDI activities at Tampere University of Applied Sciences, one of the biggest UAS in Finland with intense regional linkages. The contribution of the study is twofold; firstly, the paper introduces an expanded theoretical approach for assessing the external and internal factors having an impact on the RDI activities beyond academic entrepreneurship. Secondly, by testing the proposed framework, it shares insights and good practices derived from empirical evidence, namely binary data and semi-structured interviews revealing experiences of RDI personnel and project managers involved with different phases of RDI process, for optimising high-quality innovation support, knowledge transfer activities and co-creation of new knowledge in exceptional circumstances.

应用科学大学（UAS）肩负着与当地利益相关者合作开展研究、开发和创新（RDI）活动的重任。由于当地知识转移的成本和收益之间的积极平衡，地理邻近性是开展和成功研究开发活动的关键因素之一，但它们也取决于个别工作人员的网络。本文旨在探讨在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间如何管理维持和发展专门建立的个人RDI伙伴关系。已经发展了一个加强的概念框架，用于评估超越学术创业的RDI活动的背景方面。本文重点研究了一个案例研究，利用半结构化的研究访谈，调查了芬兰坦佩雷应用科学大学（Tampere University of Applied Sciences）的RDI活动如何受到远程工作的影响。坦佩雷应用科学大学是芬兰最大的UAS之一，具有密切的区域联系。这项研究的贡献是双重的；首先，本文介绍了一种扩展的理论方法来评估学术创业之外影响RDI活动的外部和内部因素。其次，通过测试所提出的框架，它分享了来自经验证据的见解和良好实践，即二进制数据和半结构化访谈，揭示了参与RDI过程不同阶段的RDI人员和项目经理的经验，以优化高质量的创新支持，知识转移活动和特殊情况下的新知识共同创造。
