Europe
In the aftermath of World War I, the Institute of International Education (IIE) first began its work by organizing student exchanges with several European governments as well as faculty and teacher exchanges. Since that time, IIE’s programs with Europe have grown into multilateral exchange programs that include educational and cultural exchanges, training and internship programs, workshops and seminars, as well as study tours and site visits.
Overview
Today, the Institute of International Education (IIE) has three offices in the region: IIE's European regional office based in
Budapest, IIE Russia & Eurasia based in
Moscow, and IIE Ukraine based in
Kyiv. This long-standing presence in the region has enabled the Institute to create a broad network with deep ties to universities, advising centers, foundations, corporations, government agencies, and NGOs in the region. IIE administers scholarship and exchange programs with nearly every country on the continent.
