How can they bridge the connection of local, national and global, in particular in a time of increased nationalism and anti-globalism? What are some of the main international trends and challenges? And what are some challenging examples and best practices?
Webinars are addressed to high-ranking authorities, managers, directors, and professionals specialized in the field of higher education, as well as other actors and decision makers involved in the internationalization of higher education in the Americas and the world.

ABOUT CAIE COLOMBIA 2019 (OCTOBER 23-25, 2019)
The Conference of the Americas on International Education (CAIE) is the continental forum, par excellence, that brings together the key decision-makers involved in the internationalization of higher education in the Americas to strengthen contacts, exchange experiences and prepare the future of academic cooperation in the region.
The increased presence and dynamism of Colombian HEIs and associations on the international stage demonstrate their continued commitment to the advancement of a common inter-American forum to hold discussions regarding current challenges, best practices and future trends in the field of international education.
About 20 Colombian HEIs, both public and private, along with key players in the higher education sector, make up the host committee of CAIE's sixth edition and their commitment to this important event has allowed the conference to be held in Colombia in 2019.
