The warming of diplomatic relations with Iran marks the beginning of a new era of potential cooperation between higher education institutions in the United States and Iran. After decades of limited academic ties, institutions in both countries are eager to renew relationships and initiate new ones. The Institute of International Education is supporting increased U.S.-Iran academic cooperation by launching the IIE Iran Higher Education Initiative, which includes this white paper, a series of national conference calls, workshops, and a delegation to Iran in June 2015. This briefing paper provides an overview of the potential areas where institutions in the United States and Iran might initiate new linkages and includes an FAQ section on current OFAC regulations.

The UK Higher Education International Unit's Go International programme published a report today that provides the first national outline of which students go abroad, where they go and considers what currently available data can tell us about the initial outcomes of international experience as part of a UK undergraduate programme.
Go International: Mobile students and their outcomes outlines the academic attainment and employment outcomes of mobile and non-mobile undergraduate students who completed their studies in the 2012/13 academic year. More...
When UKCISA published its Broadening our Horizons report in 2004 - the first in a decade on the experiences of international students in the UK - we found that some 87% were satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of their experiences in UK HE.

By Christine Farrugia. As nearly 1 million international students begin a new academic year at a U.S. college or university, another group of international students is likewise preparing for enrollment at a U.S. high school. As noted in IIE’s report, Charting New Pathways to Higher Education*, in fall 2013 there were over 73,000 international students enrolled in U.S. high schools, and of those, nearly 49,000 were seeking diplomas from U.S. high schools to help prepare them for admission to an American higher education institution.

As a part of the Generation Study Abroad campaign, IIE has called on secondary school educators to advocate for study abroad “by articulating its benefits and incorporating global education into [their] curriculum.” Like my elementary school principal did for me, educators can play a large role in inspiring their students to think beyond their national boundaries and to view themselves as part of a global society. More...By Enam-Haddad. In the five plus years I have worked at IIE, the term “workforce development” has become a more stable part of international higher education lingo. Although the concept of workforce development has been around for a long time, it has recently gained prominence in the field based on several factors in the ever-evolving state of the global economy.

Par M.P. L’Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD) veut attirer des étudiants et des chercheurs du monde entier.
