Background
|
| THE UNIQUE
CONVENING POWER OF IAU |
The
International Association of Universities has the unique convening
power to bring together heads of universities, other higher education
institutions and their national and regional associations to discuss
topics and themes of interest around the world. By virtue of its
global membership, IAU can almost guarantee that any of its meetings
will enable participants to meet their peers from all other world
regions. IAU makes every effort to ensure that each of its
General Conferences, Meetings, Workshops, Seminars or Symposia reflects
the wide diversity and geographic spread of our membership.
Gathering its members regularly and frequently has become a major
objective for IAU and this, despite the great opportunities offered by
ICTs to communicate without face-to-face meetings. The location,
nature and scope of these different events are quite varied – some are
open to all interested higher education leaders or representatives,
others are by invitation only. Always, they are held in
collaboration with an IAU member or a partner organization. The
themes addressed are often quite narrowly defined while other
conferences are of a more general nature. The increasing number of
events that IAU organizes or in which it acts as a sponsor or partner,
reflects IAU’s conviction that offering its members plenty of
opportunities to meet and to become actively involved in our work will
promote international cooperation and networking which in turn will
benefit the higher education sector. The most recent events in each
category of IAU meetings (general conference, annual international
conference, symposia, workshops etc) are described here in
chronological order, indicating as well what is being planned for the
future.
General Conference:
supreme decision-making organ of the Association. It meets once
every four years and it is on this occasion that all IAU Members in
Good Standing elect the IAU President as well as the Administrative
Board members.
For past General Conferences, please see
list. For next General
Conference see Upcoming IAU Events.
Other International
Conferences, Meetings and Seminars
Between General
Conferences, the IAU holds international Conferences for Members and
beyond to discuss matters of general concern to international higher
education.
For past conferences and meetings see list,
for future international
conferences see Upcoming IAU Events.
