Internationalization has become one of the main tasks of universities in global competition. The purpose of this phenomenon is to make the universities well-known and accepted in worldwide. This article describes internationalization pattern in global universities through public policy process.

From exploring literature from various sources That are internationally recognized, we have decided to conduct a research study based on the Elsevier's Scopus database. Two generic keywords used for searching information included “public policy process” and “university internationalization”, and, to narrow and specify the data, “social science” and “business, management, and accounting” were two specific terms used for exploring the most relevant literature. There were 44 articles found, but after familiarizing the information 40 articles were found most related to this study. Interestingly, several articles have been less cited or never been referred because they are rather newly published (between 2018—2020).

Based on literature review analysis, it was found that globalization is an important external factor forcing states to legislate and the universities to adjust their administrative policy and management to be more international; so that; their academic competitiveness in both national and international levels can increase. The definition of public policies aiming to internationalize the higher education system leads to the development of institutional policies at the universities level. In addition, this article also explains the roles of universities in new era in contributing to both academic fields and to the requirements of the world society, and this shows the transformation which allows universities to become proactive and responsible for the needs of the world in the 21st century.

The establishment of the length of embryo storage has been based on socio-political criteria. There are different regulations, guidelines and health care policies worldwide. This mixed-methods study aimed to assess the opinion of patients about the embryo storage time limit, and the perception of the criteria underlying the establishment of the storage period offered to them. Between August 2011 and December 2012, 534 IVF patients from Portugal participated in a quantitative questionnaire and 34 couples were interviewed. Overall, 38% of participants preferred the duration of 4-5 years, 38% extended it beyond 5 years and 23% indicated 3 years. Having experienced at least one previous cycle was directly associated with agreeing with a duration of storage longer than 5 years, for both women and men. Having children was inversely associated with longer duration of storage, among women. One-third of the 34 interviewed couples stated that their knowledge concerning embryo storage was insufficient. Nevertheless, all the interviewees reported at least one possible reason for the legal establishment of the storage period offered to them, highlighting financial costs and decreased embryo quality. There are misconceptions and gaps in awareness of cryopreservation, which may shape patients' opinions. Accurate information regarding policy on storage of embryos is needed.
