Going Global is an open forum for education world leaders to debate international higher and further education issues and challenges, and to discuss collaborative solutions.  The 2016 forum will examine non-compulsory education through the following lenses:

          •   Education policy: local priorities, national systems and global drivers

          •   Economic development: skills, enterprise, research and innovation

          •   Engagement: democracy, social justice and international relations

Columbia University Libraries is pleased to announce a new research awards program in support of the soon to be opened Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (IFP) Archive. A total of six awards will be made to scholars, philanthropic administrators, and other researchers whose work either focuses on IFP specifically, or on issues of social justice, higher education and community building generally, and who are able to demonstrate that their work will benefit from sustained immersion in the extensive archive of IFP. Three $5,000 awards will be made to domestic applicants, while three $7,000 awards will be made to overseas applicants.

Research awardees will have both the digital and analog IFP archive at their disposal, a resource that totals nearly five hundred linear feet of documents and more than 350,000 born-digital files, and which includes both the records of the central secretariat office and of the partner offices from twenty-two countries.

IIE, in partnership with Go Overseas and AIFS Study Abroad, CET Academic Programs, IFSA-Butler, STA Travel, launched the #GoStudyAbroad contest calling on everyone to encourage U.S. college students to study abroad by the time they graduate. Students who enter the contest can win a $10k study abroad scholarship (along with other prizes). #GoStudyAbroad is part of Generation Study Abroad, an initiative led by IIE to double the number of American students who study abroad by the end of the decade. With 1 in 5 jobs linked to international trade and employers looking for global talent, more U.S. students must study abroad to broaden their perspectives, understand and tolerate different ways of life and succeed in today's global workforce. We encourage higher education institutions, study abroad organizations, government agencies and others to participate in this nationwide campaign. Please join us in mobilizing study abroad alumni, faculty members and wider campus communities to nominate students to #GoStudyAbroad.
