European Association for International Education

The European Association for International Education (EAIE) is a European centre for expertise, networking and resources in the internationalisation of higher education. It is a non-profit, member-led organisation serving individuals actively involved in the internationalisation of their institutions through training, conferences, research and knowledge acquisition and sharing. The EAIE is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and has approximately 3000 members from over 80 different countries, the majority of which are located in Europe. History In the late 1980s, European international educators realised the need for a European member association dedicated to those working in the field of international education. In 1989 the EAIE was created as a result of the Founding Conference in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Conference attracted around 600 professionals inspired by the idea of joining a network of international educators. The original working title of the Association was the "European Association for International Education Administrators". However, this was later changed to the European Association for International Education when the organisation was officially created. Conferences The EAIE Annual Conference is the primary event through which the Association brings professionals to discuss the latest trends in international education. The conference is the largest international higher education event of its kind in Europe and is hosted in a different European city each year. In 2023 it was held in Rotterdam. Publications The EAIE publishes various publications on topics concerning the internationalisation of higher education.
