International Association of Universities
Secretariat
The International Universities Bureau is IAU's permanent Secretariat and its major instrument of program implementation - with support of the Working Groups. Created by UNESCO in 1949 as an international information centre on higher education, it was instrumental in preparing the International University Conference in Nice, 1950, at which IAU was founded. Today, being placed under the authority of IAU and in close cooperation with UNESCO, its prerogatives consist in:
- Observing trends in Education on a global scale,
- Collecting and sharing information,
- Defending IAU positions and lobbying
