The EAIE, European Association for International Education, organises a conference for stakeholders within higher education in a new city in Europe every year. In September 2025 the conference will be held in Gothenburg.
The focus of the conference is international collaboration in higher education. As a participant, you will have the chance to meet your academic institution’s partners, make new contacts, and participate in seminars and workshops.
