IIE and the
Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (SIU) led a delegation of high-level officials representing 12 U.S. higher education institutions to Norway in mid-April to meet with potential partner campuses and learn about Norwegian higher education and explore collaborative opportunities. The study tour to Oslo, Tromsø, Trondheim, and Bergen was part of IIE's
International Academic Partnership Program (IAPP) for Norway, which seeks to help universities in the U.S. formulate a plan for strategic and sustainable partnerships with institutions in Norway. The delegation identified important issues and opportunities that will guide potential new partnerships and collaboration.
