Program Details

The International Academic Partnership Program (IAPP) was developed through IIE’s Center for International Partnerships in 2009 in response to the demand from higher education institutions to develop comprehensive, sustainable academic partnerships with their counterparts abroad. The IAPP is unique in its multi-faceted approach, combining strategic planning, virtual communication, group learning, and face-to-face interactions to help institutions find the right partners. The IAPP typically focuses on connecting U.S. higher education institutions with partners in a target country. To date, IIE has led more than 20 IAPPs with 14 different countries. While it is recommended that the program last from 8 –12 months, IIE works in partnership with each country partner to determine the right structure for that particular program.

Current Program – IAPP Greece

IAPP-Greece is dedicated to developing new partnerships and deepening existing ones between U.S. and Greek institutions of higher education.

Toward this goal, representatives from 30 U.S. universities and colleges visited Greece in November 2022 (November 5, 2022 – November 11, 2022), for the Pharos Summit 2022: Greek – US collaboration in Higher Education. Initiated in December 2019, this iteration of the program adapted rapidly to the COVID-19 pandemic, adding more virtual meeting components to the program throughout the last two years. During this time, 92% of participating institutions were able to reach out to potential counterparts to start partnership conversations.

The Pharos Summit 2022: Greek – US collaboration in Higher Education – is a part of IIE’s IAPP Greece program, within IIE’s Center for International Partnerships. 

The Ministry of Education, the U.S. Embassy in Athens, the Fulbright Foundation in Greece and the IIE, worked together on a robust itinerary in Greece that provided a broad view of Greek higher education while also maximizing the potential for meeting with institutions throughout the country. During this visit, the group divided into smaller delegations, each of which visited several Greek universities.
