An ''International initiative'' is a concept which is not in the [[UNESCO]] "Virtual Universities" classification scheme but is an extension ot its concept of a [[National initiative]].

It refers to an initiative taken by a supranational political grouping or range of countries in a region - such as the [[European Union]] - to set up a programme focussed on e-learning in university-level institutions.

If the initiative involves more than one country but not many then it is not classified as an international iniatiative but as a [[multinational initiative]].

If the initiative involves just one country or a region within that country then it is called a [[national initiative]].

Very often the international initiative will set up a [[consortium]] or generate a [[newly created institution]] of a unique nature in the nations involved. This leads to some overlap of the UNESCO classifications.
