International Education Week 2021

November 17, 2021 November 19, 2021

International Education Week (IEW), November 15-19, 2021, is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences. IIE is an essential part of IEW as it leads the research and production of the Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange. The annual ECA-funded Open Doors® report is a definitive survey on international and U.S. higher education student mobility and is funded by the United States Department of State’s Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs.
