Story highlights:
– UNICA attends Europe’s largest international education event and reflects on the philosophical foundations behind the sector
Once again we had the opportunity to attend Europe’s largest international education event! On September 17-20, Toulouse welcomed the 34th EAIE: European Association for International Education Conference and Exhibition, bringing together a record of over 7,300 Higher Education professionals from 110 countries. Under the topic “en route”, the week was packed with workshops, networking activities, an energetic exhibition and over 250 sessions on near-endless topics. UNICA was represented at this major event by two members of the UNICA Secretariat. Members of the network, European University Alliances that include UNICA universities, and affiliated partners were also in attendance of the Conference, many of whom also led sessions, workshops and had exhibition stand at the event.
As usual, the EAIE Conference was an opportunity to connect with UNICA members, partners, and friends. In particular, the informal get-together with the community of the International Relations Officers group was a highlight as we had the chance to meet colleagues from around the network who tirelessly fashion many hats in the pursuit of international higher education.
