Doubling Study Abroad by 2020
Explore. Exchange. Experiment.

IIE’s Generation Study Abroad brings leaders in education, business and governments together to increase the number and diversity of U.S. college students who study abroad. In its first year, more than 600 partner campuses and organizations committed to take specific, measureable actions to ensure that more American students graduate with the international experience necessary for success in a globalized world. The latest Open Doors data showed 5% growth in study abroad, but much more is needed to achieve the ambitious goal of doubling study abroad by the end of the decade.

Building on last year’s popular interactive sessions and networking opportunities, the 2016 IIE Summit on October 23-25, 2016 in Washington, DC aims to go beyond the traditional panel format – to engage participants in hands-on learning and outside of the box thinking – by exploring innovative action plans, exchanging effective tools and experimenting with new approaches to further advance our mutual goal.

The Institute of International Education (IIE) welcomes proposals for one of the following interactive formats:
Proposals should reflect the spirit of innovation across the following themes:
 
Theme 1: New Study Abroad Models and Marketing Directions
Theme 2: Forging New Partnerships to Advance your Pledge
Theme 3: Commitments that Work: Learning from Innovative Solutions (and Failures)
Theme 4: Making the Case for Study Abroad: Using Data to Promote Study Abroad and Change Perceptions  
 
The IIE Summit will result in the sharing of ideas, research and practices that encourage new ways of approaching study abroad. Participants will walk away with a strong network of partners and with specific resources to help them reach their commitments. 
 
Proposal Submission Deadline: February 16, 2016
