International Academic Partnership Program

International Academic Partnership Program Greece 

(IAPP Greece)

IIE invites your institution to apply for the International Academic Partnership Program initiative focused on Greece (IAPP Greece), which will engage a select group of U.S. higher education institutions in an intensive training program focused on implementing strategic partnerships with counterparts in Greece. IAPP is a core initiative of IIE’s Center for International Partnerships and seeks to increase the number of international partnerships between higher education institutions in the U.S. and those in other countries.

IAPP Greece aims to foster sustainable partnerships between higher education institutions in the U.S. and Greece, with the goal of enhancing student and faculty mobility, joint research, and other academic collaborations between the two countries. IAPP Greece will engage up to twelve U.S. higher education institutions. 

U.S. HIGHER EDUCATION DELEGATION TO GREECE:

As a major part of the IAPP Greece program, IIE will lead a group of senior leaders and administrators from the participating U.S. universities to Greece on a study tour of the Greek higher education system scheduled for Fall 2022. The purpose of the delegation to Greece is to (1) provide an opportunity for U.S. participants to learn more about the higher education system in Greece; (2) bring representatives from U.S. and Greek higher education together to engage in meaningful dialogue; (3) expose participants to key players in U.S. – Greek higher education collaboration ; and (4) lay the groundwork for future university‐to‐university partnerships.
