From 24 to 28 September 2019, the capital city of Finland – Helsinki – will host the 31st Annual conference of the European Association for International Education (EAIE) under the title “Encompassing all voices”. As every year, the ACA members and the Secretariat will be present in great numbers at this large-scale international higher education event. Beyond networking and partnership-building opportunities, the conference will give ample room to learn more about the Finnish higher education system, as well as to meet and exchange views with representatives of Finnish higher education institutions on-site.
Overall, the ACA members and the staff of the ACA Secretariat will be involved in delivering 17 sessions and poster presentations (see below) and will be hosting several information and networking events.
