In November 2023, a high-level meeting of the Board of the International Education and Research Alliance (IERA) was held in Yerevan, Armenia. This gathering brought together leading figures from member institutions of the Alliance and marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of the organization’s global vision.
As a result of this meeting, a strategic decision was made to enhance the activities of the Alliance in the Arab Gulf countries, Central Asia, and Iran. This expansion reflects IERA’s ongoing commitment to strengthening international academic cooperation and advancing research-based education across diverse cultural and geopolitical landscapes.
The Board members and institutional leaders welcomed the launch of the European University educational program in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, viewing it as a flagship initiative that embodies the Alliance’s mission. The program was recognized as a model for cross-border academic innovation, and participating institutions expressed their full support and readiness to contribute actively to its success.
A key outcome of the meeting was the reaffirmation of several strategic priorities:
The involvement of distinguished European professors and scholars in teaching and curriculum development.
The creation and promotion of dual-degree academic programs, facilitating international mobility and global employability for students.
The adoption of innovative and interdisciplinary teaching methods, as well as the use of advanced digital learning environments.
This meeting, organized by IERA and supported by its member institutions, underscores the growing role of the Alliance in shaping the future of international higher education. It also highlighted the shared commitment to quality, collaboration, and innovation that defines the core mission of the Alliance.
Stay tuned for further updates on the implementation of these strategic directions and the ongoing development of IERA-led initiatives across the globe.
