Application Deadline: September 28, 2012

On August 28th, during the IIE/EducationUSA Libya conference call on U.S.-Libya partnerships, IIE’s Center for International Partnerships announced the launch of a new International Academic Partnership Program (IAPP) focusing on Libya. Beginning in October 2012, IAPP Libya will engage a select group of U.S. higher education institutions in a number of training activities focused on developing a partnership strategy with Libya and addressing key academic partnership sectors, including business, health, and capacity-building. The program includes a delegation to Libya in early 2013.

Since 2009, IAPP has engaged more than 50 U.S. higher education institutions in comprehensive programs aimed at increasing the number of partnerships between U.S. higher education institutions and their counterparts abroad. Past participants have increased their faculty exchanges, implemented institutional strategic plans, expanded study abroad offerings, and enhanced their overall engagement with the focus countries. If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Clare Banks at cbanks@iie.org or visit www.iie.org/iapp.
