Building a more equitable, sustainable, peaceful world through international exchange in a post-pandemic world

The Institute of International Education (IIE) hosted the 2021 International Education Leadership Summit on Monday 25 October 2021. The hybrid virtual and in-person summit welcomed representatives from international education organisations representing nine countries, including Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The discussion centred on the theme — What’s Ahead: Building a More Equitable, Sustainable, Peaceful World through International Exchange in a Post-Pandemic World.

In this paper, IIE has brought together statements from representatives at each organisation that tell us how the sector has responded to the pandemic and reveal some insight into what lies ahead for international education.
