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 (Netherlands), and has approximately 3000 members from over 80 different countries,^[1]^{[better source needed]}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 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 event of its kind in Europe and is hosted in a different city each year.

Publications

The EAIE publishes various publications on topics concerning the internationalisation of higher education.^[3]

Forum magazine^[4] is the flagship member magazine of the Association, published three times per year, with a readership of circa 3000. The first issue of Forum was published in 1999. In 2012, the magazine incorporated a thematic approach, tackling one prominent topic within international education per issue.

Pathways to Practice^[5] is EAIE's e-publication series, published several times a year and offers detailed step-by-step guides to implementing essential internationalisation practices.

The EAIE Barometer^[6] is the largest and most geographically representative study of its kind ever undertaken in Europe. The research focuses on the current state of affairs regarding internationalisation of higher education in Europe as viewed by professionals directly involved in this work.

The Journal of Studies in International Education^[7] is a peer-reviewed journal for higher education administrators, educators, researchers and policymakers. Volumes are published five times per year and articles vary from 4000 to 6000 words in length. The EAIE is part of the Association for Studies in International Education (ASIE)^[8] which is responsible for the Journal.

The EAIE also publishes series and stand-alone publications on some of the biggest trends and issues facing international higher education today, like international admissions^[9] and exchange mobility.^[10]

Other activities

The EAIE provides other activities for its members, such as a Mentorship programme, the Train the Trainers programme, the EAIE Academy and its advocacy work to effect positive change in higher education internationalisation. In 2012, the EAIE led a working group of international higher education associations to develop a charter advocating international students' rights. The EAIE has also been developing a global network of centralised student data depositories to make digital student data portability a reality.

Governance

The EAIE leadership comprises the President, Vice-President, Executive Director, Board and General Council. The Board (which includes the President and Vice-President) works to guide the Association's future by monitoring the strategy's implementation as determined by the General Council. The General Council is responsible for the organisation's long-term vision, budget and accounts. Elections for positions in the EAIE leadership are held once every two years. The current EAIE President is Piet Van Hove from the University of Antwerp, Belgium.
