Internationalization: Essential Building Block to Quality in 21^st Century Education

The Americas Partner with the World

The Americas have a long history of educational linkages. Inter-American research collaboration and student exchanges are on the rise. However, many commentators suggest that the potential for partnerships far exceeds the numbers that currently exist. The Conference of the Americas on International Education (CAIE) is intended to provide a space for connecting with potential partners and for incubating new opportunities and ideas across the hemisphere.

With a clear focus on North, South and Central America and the Caribbean, CAIE will attract attention and the participation of international education professionals from around the world. Come meet with a range of partners and potential partners, and

• Share views and best practices on international education issues that will help us pursue quality and innovation at the national and international levels
• Develop networks and identify new opportunities in the education sector
• Promote and expand partnerships and strategic alliances for future collaboration
• Debate different policies and approaches and discuss emerging trends in higher education that equally affect the northern and southern hemispheres of the Americas, including the Caribbean and Central America
• Discuss issues for developing countries of the Americas as they relate to higher education and explore potential solutions to pressing problems
• Have your say in providing guidance on educational matters to regional organizations and forums, such as the Organization of the American States, helping them to set agendas focused on educational needs and priorities
