The vision of the EAIE is for an equitable world in which international education connects diverse perspectives and fosters greater understanding. We put this into practice every day, aiming for every EAIE activity to contribute to this vision in a way that is impactful, inclusive and sustainable.

Collaborations and partnerships

We engage with global networks and maintain close strategic relationships with the goal of augmenting the impact of international education wherever possible and enhancing EAIE member value.

Global Engagement

The EAIE is an active participant in two key international bodies, the Association for Studies in International Education (ASIE) and the Network of International Education Associations (NIEA).  

ASIE, which has been chaired by the EAIE since 2014, is principally focused on advancing scholarly understanding about the phenomenon of internationalisation through the publication of the Journal of Studies in International Education.

NIEA brings together the global community of associations focused on international higher education around the world.
