Dubai Knowledge Village to drive development of international education in region

The EAIE aims to link international education professionals in order to help create a global environment facilitating mobility and education for all. To translate this objective, the EAIE works to aid the professional development of educators and ensure that important information is not only disseminated, but there is an increased awareness about critical educational issues.

With this agreement, the European Association for International Education will address professional development by offering training courses for educators, sharing important issues via publications, and by creating an environment for learning, debate, and networking.
The MOU was signed by Dr. Ayoub Kazim, Executive Director, Dubai Knowledge Village and Dubai International Academic City and Fiona Hunter, President of European Association for International Education.

"Dubai Knowledge Village is keen to build ties with reputed international education associations like the EAIE to ensure the development of higher education sector in the region and establish a strong networking channel with key European higher education providers," said Dr. Ayoub Kazim.

"Partnerships, such as this, can significantly contribute to boosting communication between education professionals and promoting the growth of the international higher education sector. Academic exchange with the global community is the key to the overall progress of our region's educational sector," he added.

The EAIE is a non-profit organisation whose main aim is the stimulation and facilitation of the internationalisation of higher education in Europe and around the world, and to meet the professional needs of individuals active in international education.

The EAIE has its permanent Secretariat in Amsterdam with a committed membership of more than 1600 international education professionals - from rectors to professors to international exchange coordinators.
